What boggles my mind reading all of these comments is the fact that so many of you have arbitrarily decided that the disclaimer, which is prominently displayed at the beginning of the article, isn't worth the space it takes up. The fact that you acknowledge it IS there shows that you have read it, but simply chose to ignore it. Why? It is sad that so many people believe in argument for argument's sake. Is it simply that if you couldn't say something negative you would have nothing to say at all? Since I really don't condone her lifestyle means that if I were simply out 'trolling', I could chime in with the rest of you. The fact is, I chose to read this, and it is not my business to argue with the lifestyle she has chosen for herself. She is an adult, and presumably knows what she is doing, and how she wants to live her life. I have no right to judge her, nor does anyone else. If you, too, dislike the lifestyle she portrays, then simply say so, or, better yet, don't read her blog at all. However, inferring she has said or done something she didn't is just wrong. The only difference between 'Ivy' trolls and those one finds on sites such as You Tube is the fact that you can actually spell correctly and use English as it is meant to be used. All else is the same. At least You Tube trolls are often humorous. Oh! I forgot. A sense of humor and intelligence cancel each other out. (?)

It is entirely possible to be a serious student AND have a life. Not everyone has to condone her life-style, but she is one facet of the new and refreshing Ivy culture. There are as many world-views represented by the students in this environment as there are in the "outside" world. This is real life, deal with it.

"WITHOUT ANYTHING IN THE ARTICLE EFFECTIVELY STATING THAT CONSENT EXISTS. (besides the disclaimer)" The disclaimer is PART of the article. Anyone with half a brain would read the ENTIRE post. In fact, you have just admitted that you DID read the disclaimer, so why even bother trying to dis this article? I know, you want your OWN 5 seconds of fame, right?
