A friend got kicked out of the honors program at my college. He sent this email to the professor a year later. (imgur.com)

You mean your friend who just submitted the exact same thing 4 hours ago?

[–]tobefit 59 points60 points ago

This is probably the same person. Account created 6 hours ago and OP of the other post deleted his/her account. OP is just trying to spam his/her crap website that will be out of use after the election.

[–]TimMitchell 24 points25 points ago

It doesn't get much more blatant than that.

[–]NOACeulemans 10 points11 points ago

Was about to say, this reeks of karmawhoring... it's even in the same subreddit.

[–]Tim_Kaiser 3 points4 points ago

Actually I think it's clever marketing by trying to get more people to go to his website. The poster of this one is most likely the same person that posted the first time, Nikita.

[–]fractals_ 0 points1 point ago

I don't think there is a 'Nikita.'

[–]oopsifarted 5 points6 points ago

Karmawhoring knows no limit.

[–]daonemanshow -4 points-3 points ago

My karmawhoring knows no bounds.

[–]Gmetal 0 points1 point ago

quite possibly just whoring, because it might generate traffic for his website.

[–]Birdslapper 3 points4 points ago

its only been 4 fricking hours man

[–]brownboy13Delhiting your posts since 2012 2 points3 points ago

Not karmawhoring though. The first submission was removed as it was considered an ad. The OP argued with us at first and then went ahead and did this.

[–]heracleides 0 points1 point ago

[–]MrRussellLuther 13 points14 points ago

Sooooo hows that removing going?

[–]0311 7 points8 points ago

...takes longer to remove a post than I remember.

EDIT: Wow...OP really is a tool. His post above said something like, "Oh, I saw this on Facebook. Sorry, removing." I posted my comment an hour after his, and he deleted it about 6 hours later when he was at -20 or so.

[–]touchmybelly 2 points3 points ago

Does your friend even go to Berkeley? boo, hiss

[–]SoFisticate 146 points147 points ago

Your friend sounds like a passive aggressive bitch.

[–]creativecoding 28 points29 points ago

Yeah not to mention $40,000 in grants isn't exactly the most amazing feat.

[–]wurtis16 -1 points0 points ago

Coulda made the same amt working at mcdonalds for a year.

[–]Ragnalypse 1 point2 points ago

Seriously. If you have the stats to back up your success, be a little more bold about it. It's like he's afraid he'll get a detention if he's too mean. Maybe it was a snarky comment that denied him entry?

[–]insecteye 11 points12 points ago

Now, if he would have been accepted into that program, politify may not have happened in time to be available for this years election.

[–]61230712-312 0 points1 point ago

why does it matter?+ the website is terrible... it's simplifying a complex issue beyond belief

[–]Borskey 113 points114 points ago

It's not funny at all and your friend is a douche. And you're even douchier for reposting this.

[–]callmesnake13 30 points31 points ago

Essentially Politify is so successful that he's still obsessed with a professor who wronged him.

[–]UNEification 40 points41 points ago

I'm just saying, I wouldn't call it "wronged". The professor kicked him out of the program because there was a class he'd been required to take, and he didn't take it. It's pretty straightforward: to be in the program, you had to have taken the class. They had not taken the class. They were kicked out of the program.

The person who wrote this letter thought that the rules of the Honors Program should be bent for them. The professor followed the guidelines (that were also probably not solely controlled by that professor) for the program, denied the student for a perfectly legitimate reason, and even courteously wished them the best of luck on their project.

The more I think about it the angrier I get. The professor did his fucking job and was totally polite about it, a year later the writer decides to give him shit for not allowing a student to break the rules. What the fuck?

[–]moorechez67 13 points14 points ago

Make a successful website and then email Nikita if you're so upset! It's the only way!

[–]Meshu 2 points3 points ago

Given that he's enrolled in the subject at time of application, you would think they'd place a condition of completion of said subject on his application for Honours. These sorts of conditional offers are extremely common for all sorts of prerequisites for entry into virtually every program imaginable.

[–]WhyHellYeah -4 points-3 points ago

Sounds like a typical liberal loser.

[–]inthedrink 34 points35 points ago

maybe op can post once more so i can downvote him/her again

[–]solsethop 20 points21 points ago

denying someone based on prereqs is totally fine.

MJ was sent to a JV team in highschool.

The fact that both of them were successful is awesome, but don't condemn the regular person that is just trying to make the right decision.

[–]jew_jitsu 5 points6 points ago

Nice try politify.com marketing executive.

[–]Danzo-Is-The-Best 7 points8 points ago

FOR GOODNESS SAKE GUYS JUST GIVE HIM THE ATTENTION HE SO DESPERATELY CRAVES!

[–]tricker_treat 0 points1 point ago

And hits on his website.

[–]modernburial 6 points7 points ago

Your "friend" sounds like a fucking smug dickhead.

[–]bulltown03 20 points21 points ago

This website blows.... just went there.... kinda seems like a majorly biased thing to me. For funsies i went to the "personal" part and put an income of $300, it said Romney would raise my taxes by $2211... seriously? Taxes them at 737%? NO WAY!!! No wonder he wasn't accepted to the program, and not for not taking a 100 level class.... just wow

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]bulltown03 2 points3 points ago

737%? I understand social security and medicare happen no matter the income but 737%??

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]mesaone 6 points7 points ago

Food stamps and medicaid are not taxable income, so they have zero affect on a person's tax rate.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]mesaone 0 points1 point ago

Read my post again. Don't argue with something that is a fact.

[–]bulltown03 5 points6 points ago

so this somehow increases tax? And show me where a $300 income has it's entitlements count as texas..... YA DINGUS

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]bulltown03 2 points3 points ago

So is this counting Diminished entitlements as cuts? Or decreases to income? Because that's not how it works

[–]0311 0 points1 point ago

Shut up, OP.

[–]funnyhandlehere 9 points10 points ago

Yeah, because no one else ever claims to have a compelling topic.

[–]mcityftw 13 points14 points ago

Dude, the guy who said it was him already posted it today... lame ass way to drive traffic to the website.

[–]knumbknuts 11 points12 points ago

This reminds me of the Kissenger quote:

University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small.

[–]porkfish66 2 points3 points ago

Redditor for just long enough to post this. You in the advertising dept. of that website or what?

[–]crimsonsentinel 2 points3 points ago

I'm so glad I was at Berkeley before there was social media.

[–]LeonProfessional 2 points3 points ago

This wasn't funny the first time it was posted, and it's not funny now.

[–]Mr_Showtime 2 points3 points ago

Your friend is a huge bitch. It's not like the professor maliciously kept her out of the honors program because he/she wanted to see her fail. It's based on policy.

[–]xxmarluxiaxx 5 points6 points ago

No your friend didn't, your just reposting.

[–]likeBruceSpringsteen 7 points8 points ago

You're

[–]Xeteh 18 points19 points ago

No you're friend didn't, your just reposting.*

[–]mesaone 1 point2 points ago

ahhh that's the stuff. Like PCP for grammar nazis.

[–]xxmarluxiaxx 1 point2 points ago

Thanks I guess. I don't notice my errors sometimes.

[–]wooddolanpls 1 point2 points ago

This guys deserves all of the down votes, not 5th page. Only once you have achieved negative karma, then you have my permission to remove this post.

[–]0311 1 point2 points ago

Haha, he deleted all of his comments. I think he replied "you've got a deal!" to this one.

[–]Kahlas -1 points0 points ago

Like I was saying before: Your friend obviously didn't get into(though this time to say got kicked out in the title) the honors program. Then since she's a prissy little bitch cunt she decided to point out a completely unrelated thing she did in life that made her wet and you post this crap here for a second time. I'm waiting for you to drop this a 3rd time and I'll hit it with something more creative. Btw by the looks of it she failed to go to the orientation(PSY 100 looks like you're trying to obfuscate) class that is mandatory for ALL students at most schools. So since she thought she was too good to have to do what everyone else before her did she gets a rag up her ass, go suck a dack.

[–]Terdlinger 0 points1 point ago

Then since she's a prissy little bitch cunt she decided to point out a completely unrelated thing she did in life that made her wet

Nikita Bier is actually a male and you sound angry.

[–]Kahlas 0 points1 point ago

Not angry, and assumed it was a woman because guys usually don't harbor rejection issues this badly.

[–]Terdlinger -1 points0 points ago

You seem to be angry and projecting. Why do you feel so wronged? Did someone actually hurt you or are you just afraid?

[–]Kahlas 0 points1 point ago

You seem to be a troll, good luck finding easier bait.

[–]Terdlinger 0 points1 point ago

No, I honestly believe what I've said to you. I really don't screw around too much online aside from the occasional /r/shittyadvice post.

[–]erock0546 1 point2 points ago

Can I get a bitchslap gif?

[–]bklynzbest 1 point2 points ago

So his name is Nikita?

[–]SkySilver -1 points0 points ago

Haha, this is so funny.

[–]meisibeijing 1 point2 points ago

This is so socially awkward that the professor probably felt like they had dodged a bullet by rejecting the request.

[–]werewolvesoflondon 0 points1 point ago

He's just going to keep on hitting refresh, waiting for his professor to join his website...

[–]0311 0 points1 point ago

This website sucks. It's just a bunch of completely unsubstantiated numbers. Where are the sources?

[–]TMWNN 0 points1 point ago

So the OP's used three accounts so far: The one he posted the image with first, /u/calberia (the "friend"), and now /u/ya_dingus_. Have I missed any?

[–]owwhatthe -1 points0 points ago

Nice going, professor...

[–]blulink 1 point2 points ago

The best revenge is a life well lived.

[–]koofti 10 points11 points ago

I totally agree, but I do think the response to the letter shows a lack of maturity. It comes off as petty and petulant.

Edit: Clarity.

[–]knumbknuts 0 points1 point ago

Which response letter?

[–]koofti 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, meant 'response to the letter'.

[–]blulink 2 points3 points ago

True enough but people are people. Sometimes we need to let out the crazies so we can move on.

[–]HappyTheBunny 1 point2 points ago

Tell me how great the website is doing in a year

[–]_LeMonkeyFace_ -3 points-2 points ago

Submit this shit to Hacker News, not here.

[–]DogWhisperer -1 points0 points ago

You are what's wrong with this world.

[–]keystroker007 -2 points-1 points ago

This is just too awesome...even it's BS..

[–]MachoToxicity -5 points-4 points ago

A boy named Nikita...

[–]strineGreen -4 points-3 points ago

Your male friend's name is Nikita?

[–]gnome_champion 3 points4 points ago

Very possible. Remember Nikita Khrushchev?

[–]midas22 0 points1 point ago

What's the possibility that the friend is a male named Nikita AND a huge passive-aggressive bitch though?

[–]gnome_champion 1 point2 points ago

Well, my friend. In order to calculate that you're going to figure out how long he didn't let it go and multiply that by the estimated amount of shitty tone in his letter. When we put it in our data, we get Level 8 passive-aggressive bitch.

[–]strineGreen -2 points-1 points ago

Possible but highly unlikely, plus this is a repost so I would not believe it.

[–]gnome_champion 2 points3 points ago

I thought it was a repost from the guy who wrote the letter. Either way, how is it unlikely that "Nikita" is a male name?

[–]strineGreen -1 points0 points ago

You are getting me wrong. Here is a better explanation.

First, if the person who wrote the letter posted this, the title would be "I got kicked out of...."

I said highly unlikely for a male to be named Nikita in this particular scenario because of the following -

Consider the odds of a guy named Nikita Vs. a girl named Nikita, you have to accept that the number of girls named Nikita are more than guys named Nikita. Technically this is not a proven fact, let's take a judgment call.

Now consider the odds of a guy fucking up in the title in a hurry to repost, By fucking up i mean writing He instead of She.

Compare those odds, in my opinion the poster of this post fucked up while writing title.

I may be wrong, It might be a guy but I would assume it's a girl based on my theory.

[–]gnome_champion 0 points1 point ago

About the repost thing: I saw a thread elsewhere with people complaining along the lines of the guy who wrote this letter had just posted it a few hours before calbearia. I still think it's possible that the two posters are friends. It may not be, you're right, but about the Russian name...

"Nikita" is a Russian male name. It's pretty possible that the person who is being referred in the post is Russian. I don't think it's wrong to say it's more likely the OP's a male than female. I'm going to be honest, until that show, I always assumed "Nikita" was a male name because of my history classes. It may not be a prominent one in the U.S or Western European society, but Russians do exist outside of Russia you know. :P

[–]strineGreen 2 points3 points ago

I was wrong. He is a guy http://www.linkedin.com/in/nikitabier?_mSplash=1

[–]Lindarama 2 points3 points ago

Nikita is traditionally a male name.

[–]strineGreen 0 points1 point ago

Odontophobia is the fear of teeth.

[–]UnluckyDan -1 points0 points ago

I upvoted this because of how angry it makes me. I understand completely why [the student] did it- Out of sheer spite [toward the professor]- And for that, it's spectacularly interesting.

[–]0311 0 points1 point ago

I understand completely why they did it- Out of sheer spite

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.

[–]UnluckyDan 1 point2 points ago

Hmm, explain? They were angry that the professor denied them, and upon achieving something, they emailed the professor simply to say "You made a mistake, look what you missed out, you are dumb and you should feel bad."

This is spite.

[–]0311 0 points1 point ago

Oh. Yes, that makes sense. The way your original comment was written made me think you were saying the professor denied him entrance to the class out of spite.

[–]UnluckyDan 0 points1 point ago

Oops, you're right, my mistake.

[–]adhdkidx -1 points0 points ago

not impressed

[–]riddlestix -3 points-2 points ago
