Why what did they say at Royal Holloway that was so bad?

They just didn't stop going on about how unrealistic it was, and how taking English with Creative writing is probably futile due to the limited possibilities. It sounds hypersensitive, but it was so damning, and took up about half of the talk!

Maybe it's their way of weeding out the people who don't have the staying power?
Weird though.

Aaron?
I thought we weren't allowed multiple personas?
It's his site so I suppose he can have as many personalities as possible.
Maybe he's schizophrenic, and each personality needs a user?
It's clearly the consensus
