Deserved by your cursory understanding of the situation? You're are a joke.
"You blow your own horn a little too hard, not having even achieved an undergraduate degree."
You make it sound like I'm a dropout. I'll be graduating in April, thanks. Since when is being an undergrad student something to be embarrassed of?
"Thousands of hours? Uh huh."
I've taken about 30 math courses in various fields of mathematics, which at a minimum 3 hours a week means I've sat through about a thousand hours of lecture on mathematical topics alone, never mind time spent studying, working on assignments etc. I'm proud of my abilities, and I'm not embarrassed in the least that I'm presently pursuing a degree, as you suggest I should be. You can try to denigrate that if you will, but that only makes you a troll.
This is becoming awfully personal, wouldn't you say? Why are you resorting to personal attacks on me? I thought we were talking about ideas.
"As for your draft policies, they'll apply to someone else, not to you. That's convenient."
So, I ought to go back in time and change policies before I was in a position to do so? Again, this is remarkably foolish.
I'm surprised you're making such a large deal out of my position, since it is hardly a major source of pride for me. I didn't run for the ego boost of the election, I ran to help provide services for students. While I wish more people took an active interest, I'm realistic that it's the kind of services people ignore until it's not there. And given the stakes in mid-level student politics, I'm not surprised that turnout is poor. I mean, look at how many people vote in municipal politics, when thousands of their tax dollars are at stake. So, in summation, I think your attacking me on my volunteer activities (really, a fairly contrived attack since you went looking for 'dirt') is really more revealing of a mean-spirited streak on your part. Should I be flattered you thought I was important enough to google and dig through minutes?
