To my anonymous commentor:
Hi,
Hope all is well with you too at the [The Law School We Attend], and that you enjoyed your trip to Atlanta. Please drive safely back, I know the weather is bad right now.
I’m sorry that I offended you with my brief recaps of the past few weeks. It wasn’t intentional to be anonymous, I always realized that if anyone from [Our School] came across it, that they would definitely be aware of who I am and where I attend. I just didn’t want to throw my name out there and all that information for everyone. And honestly, I didn’t think that anyone from [Our School] would care about anything I had written.
When I was wavering on going to law school, and trying to decide where to apply and where to attend, I really enjoyed reading about other people’s experiences. And I wanted a way to document how I was feeling as well. I’m not ashamed of anything I wrote, although I am still going to make the blog private now. Honestly, I don’t want to log on and get another scathing comment like the one you sent me. It was hurtful and immature. Just tell me that you were offended and be done with it.
I am sorry that you feel that I am “the worst kind of gunner.” But thanks for the encouragement to continue to become better at articulating my thoughts.
I don’t know why you feel the need to insult me on going to [Our School]. This comment: “Golly, then perhaps someone of your advanced years should have started a long time ago and worked hard enough to get into a top law school,” not only makes you look bad but it insults both of us. I am very proud to be attending this school, and I’d like to think that you are too. Oh, and when you are 26, I’d love to know how you feel about being called in your “advanced years.” My comments about being older were merely a reflection that I am not quite in the same age group as the majority of the class, but I don’t think that’s a good/bad thing.
Finally, I appreciate your concern about my marriage. My husband is incredibly supportive of my continuing education but I will pass it along to him that you are worried.
Sincerely,
Ryan
p.s.: next time, please leave a legitimate email address so that I can actually reply to you.
