Really not trying to make you feel insulted, just was addressing an aspect of the process I didn't feel was addressed. I'm sorry that you aren't having the luck you would want to be having, but as others have stated maybe you should have stayed away from the thread.
I had really felt this community was about supporting each other in the process and my post was certainly not about putting anyone down. I wish you could say the same about yours.

GMATLA, couldn't have said it better.
C2F, good luck and I am sure you will get in somewhere. Your Gmat alone is very impressive. I understand you saying that one should be thick skinned and not click on "Turning down an offer" if you are being dinged from all the schools that you applied to. However, I have not even started the application process therefore this is not the reason I was offended. I was more offended about the second post and how she has the unique quality. I only clicked on the post because I thought there would be some insight into actually turning down an offer or something of that nature.
OPoster, I am here to support people and I only said what I said because some people probably felt that way but didn't speak out. How is talking about turning down offers and tooting your own horn about having some unique quality supporting others? Maybe the title to the post should have been "I turned down an offer and feel really bad about it." Then I would not have wasted my time arguing about this.

Let's all agree that in this process involves a lot of rejection from both sides. It's a necessary evil, and we need to keep that in mind and ultimately do what is right for us. That doesn't mean we don't have to acknowledge that our decisions impact others, although I agree this shouldn't be a factor in the final choice.
fcvald01, thank you for the kind words. I didn't see the original point about it being a unique quality having compassion and could see where that rubbed you the wrong way. I think we can all agree there are plenty of compassionate people in the business world that can succeed, and while it can be a hindrance it can also be a good thing.
To me turning down an offer, is somewhat similar to breaking up with a girl you dated for a bit but nothing too serious. You liked her enough to show interest but ultimately the fit wasn't there. It doesn't mean you dislike the person or the person isn't right for someone else. In these cases, it's best to end it and move on. Most of the time we think our actions hurt others more than they actually do. (Most girls I break up with probably count there blessings a few weeks later, ha).
