I find this message rather disturbing. While I may or may not agree as to this student's choices in the methodology of finding friends and partners, I find it unacceptable that you have chosen to make fun of someone so publicly without even knowing this person. I happen to recall the time you made your first comments because I had contacted that person to give her some local advice at her request and found your first comment offensive but this is too much.
It takes a lot of guts for a single mom to pack up and move to a new city to pursue a degree. The least you can show is a little respect, not only to her but to the rest of the listserve.
Off my soapbox,
Maty

Last year, I commented about the obviously disturbed Penn Student who seemed bent on advertising here divorced-single-mother-grad-student life on evry bulleting board in Philly as possible.
Someone forwarded this link to me, and I thought it made an amusing follow-up.

Grad student seeking intelligent person
I'm a graduate student at University of Pennsylvania with a 16-month-old daughter. I'm seeking an intelligent person to have discussions with and spend time with. I don't think education equates intelligence necessarily, but I would like to meet somebody well-read, who I can have educated discussions with.
I'm very politically active and define myself as Marxist and would like to meet somebody with a similar ideology, although I can respect differences and am most interested in somebody who can respect my beliefs and is very open-minded. I'm a lifelong Unitarian Universalist, although I have dated people from different faiths and can respect anyone's beliefs.
I enjoy spending time at home with my daughter and a good book, but I also enjoy spending time with my friends and having fun. I love attending lectures and intellectual pursuits, as well as fun outings, although I don't drink or smoke or enjoy the party scene. My only serious relationship was with the father of my daughter for five years, which ended last year, so I would like to take things slowly. I am very focused on my education and my daughter, but I would like somebody to spend some time with.
I recently relocated to Philadelphia from Chicago for grad school and left all my friends and family. Also, you would need to like children, because I have a beautiful, sweet, toddler daughter who is my world. I would never even consider dating somebody who didn't like and accept her.
