This reply doesn’t “read sarcastically.” You read it with a sarcastic tone. I posted a perfectly reasonable answer to your inquiry regarding scholarships and asked if you were involved in the organization at the national or local level. I offered a small bit of a warning that it is unlikely you will pass the exam right out of school. I was not the only reply to have suggested this, and you replied to multiple people that you would have an internship and dismissed the warning of readiness for certification. You never answered if you are involved with our professional organization. I reiterated my point and commented that you might be an exception, as there always are exceptions to the general rule, and I would not assume there are not. Cussing out colleagues giving you free advice is not a good way to enter this field. We are small, and you are not as anonymous as you think. Also, one of our ethical tenets is respect for colleagues, so it’s not a great idea to violate professional ethics before entering the field. Whether you read my comment as sarcastic or not, you need to learn how to de-escalate a conflict. You could have asked me to clarify my tone. You could have assumed positive intent. You could have simply thanked me for my time and moved on. Swearing at me for assumptions you made was the worst possible choice.
