I'm sorry Ninwa for not sticking strictly to the topic, but i have to say taiga, i don't give a shit if you're a mod and you threaten me. Doing that will not help the forum become a better place. You could just have raised your concern in the polite manner that Rohitpi did.
If somehow i have come across as "condescending" here on the forum, i apologize. But all the posts Rohit picked out were intended as jokes, and they are apparently clear to some others, so i am not so out of touch with society that you can simply question my understanding of the world we live in without justification. Obviously, 49 is an exceptional score etc. Why is suddenly naming Flasha such a bad thing as you seem to be implying? Its not like he did badly? In fact he did very well, i reiterate, beating the vast majority of the state. I do not understand why people's aims have to negatively affect their intentions in your mind. Also, questioning why i need a lengthy response... I needed a lengthy response to respond to a lengthy, and in my mind, unfair, criticism.
i believe flasha on this forum did quite well in 5 subjects but still only got 97.x, a 5th subject can definitely hellp
i don't know how else to do this. but let me break down what i was thinking when i wrote this.
These thoughts were running through my mind.
-Flasha was obviously a top student
-He achieved some phenomenal scores including a 50 and a 44 in english.
-Yet from looking at others around the forum, i would have expected these very good scores to result in a higher ATAR.
-This is partially due to lack of aggregate from a 6th subject.
-with these scores he "only" got a 97?
- only is not saying that i view his score has horrendous and despicable. only is, used to convey all this information listed above.
as i said in my previous post on the top of this page, and on the previous page,
he could just have easily have gotten 99 + , and i would have phrased it the same way. 97 is definitely not a bad score and neither is 99. I'm just saying using the limited evidence i have available: A 6th subject makes the ATAR higher.
You can go ahead and justify your statement in hindsight, but the effect of your initial post remains the same to anyone reading it for the first time.
Well this effectively means any views of the author are worthless? It is not being justified in hindsight. Why would i possibly need to justify such a small comment if no extreme criticism is raised? It is being justified after taking criticism into account. In a debate, the third speaker is not speaking 'in hindsight' becausing he is trying to justify his teams earlier comments.
I'm not going to go back and find your other posts (both here and elsewhere), but you've got to realize that it is condescending, and what concerns me the post is that people can post this sorta stuff and not realize it
I've seen you do this in your little selective school bubble, where you can get away with this without offending others, but it does not have a place here.
here, again. do not belittle me. I know exactly what is going on. You assume everyone is on your side and is looking through a window from the same direction. Even if this were to be the case, you are not necessarily right. My true intentions are known to myself and myself only. Do not think you are endowed with special mind reading abilities. Given that some people have seen the links Rohit posted in the manner they were intended, as light - hearted , at worst badly considered jokes i would like to see some real times where i have, not as a joke
a) either made fun of scores that are widely regarded as exceptional
b) displayed my 'elitest' view.
Imagine if i was the mod, would you still attack me in this manner? you are abusing your power as a moderator. Who else, except for perhaps other mods, would leap to my defence in the face of such a blithering attack? Just as i cannot go through life with an 'elitest' mentality, you cannot go through life abusing any power given to you, and squashing all those inferior to you.
Maybe my jokes didn't convey well over the internet. Maybe i have a warped sense of humour. Maybe i should rectify this. maybe i aim high and would personally be disappointed with still great scores. This does not mean i view these scores as 'bad'. If you've beaten 90+% of the state in anything, it means you are in at least the top 10 %. Someone aiming for 50 ATAR would be extremely happy with 55 ATAR. someone aiming for 90 would be disappointed with 55 ATAR. of coursee, thhis changes nothing objectvely, a 95 is still a 95 is still a 95 better than 95 percent of the state.
