Several clarifications:
"EUC has like 50 different screen names on Vault"
Wrong--I have two screen names. I used "euc" > 95% of the time.
"spends his days signing up for the Gold option and digging up old posts by other posters."
I signed up for the Gold option several months go to prepare for my McK interviews. And "digging up old posts" is called due diligence.
"Btw, where exactly did I "lie" before?"
Oh please wunderkind??. don't let me dig up more things what others have said about you or your own contradiction.
You know, with regard to the "excerpts of a great article"--you did a lot work in compiling these 'excerpts'. I sense that those words probably comforted you greatly during the blue days after getting dinged by McK. I think you are at the last stage of your healing process. Wunderkind, you must not blame your self or McKinsey.

I know it's hard for you to believe that someone would actually turn down Mck, but the reality is, I was given a Mck offer for my 2nd-choice office, which didn't coincide with my then-fiance's location. So, despite how Mck on my CV would cause 500 CEOs to call me up everyday begging me to come work for them, I was stupid enough to accept the offer from another top firm near my fiance.
Please, dig up a post where I contadicted myself or claimed to attend Wharton for MBA. As for what others have said about me, dig that up too -- I know it's uncomfortable for people to have their perceptions and assumptions challenged (though it's ironic that so many 'consultants' would!).
This EUC guy is a shining example of why Mck is "in decline". His entire existence rests on getting a "prestigious" job to impress people -- his way of getting back at all the kids who teased him in high school and the girls who shot him down. I have no doubt that EUC can do long division in his head, but he definitely can't lead a team or sell projects or persuade clients to implement solutions. So good luck at your 2 years at Mck. And when you go to apply to other jobs after Mck uses you to crank out a couple PPT decks that any other idiot could have done then counsels you out, just tell the hiring managers that you "worked for mck". Your future is golden!
