Typically the two colleges are of equal measure, both equally fantastic, both full of opportunities, both well-suited for the student. I should not make that choice; their parents should not make that choice; the student must make that choice. Why? Because I'm not the one going to their college and neither is their parents. We're not the ones who have to live with that decision for the rest of our lives, they are. We can guide them when asked, help them find the research and resources they need for better understanding, but leave it to them in the end to make that call.
Same principle here.
I agree with this 110%. My opening paragraph was also a bit of a generalization. Of course there are those who have already made up their minds but are still encouraging people to research what's out there and choose what they feel will be best for them. But most of these threads do amount to the same few types of posts which express either the same opinions, the same facts, or a bit of both. The proverbial horse has been beaten to death, I think. Nothing new is coming of these posts, which is why I suppose I'm getting tired of seeing the same things re-hashed.
I guess my point is that I don't think locking or nuking these threads is going to do any good except hurt people's feelings and we should probably just accept that even though the resources are available to help people make fact-based, educated choices about which server to play on, folks may just need to be continually pointed in that direction.
