[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 1508906, member: 16077"] While I did imply that was the case, I never referred to him (or anyone) in terms of any expletive. [QUOTE I'd say "Best of luck to you." I wouldn't head over to a FUDGE messageboard and use my first hundred posts to talk about what a lame system FUDGE is and how we should all play GURPS instead.[/QUOTE] No, but if the topic were raised (as this one was), why wouldn't I discuss it? You may not agree with anything I say, but it doesn't mean that my opinion is any less valid than anyone else's. The fact that I don't use poor grammar or "1337 speak" was raised and it was implied that, somehow, being educated (regardless of whether you have a college degree, a high school diploma, home-schooled by a pack of wolves, whatever...) is no longer considered something important - and, I felt that the poster's tone was somehow one of "education is for losers." While it may not be entirely relevant to the topic at hand, I felt it was intended as a personal insult. Fact of the matter is that at no time have I ever stated anything regarding my educational credentials, beyond the fact that I am at least able to perform the "three R's." Don't like that I am proud that I was educated before the emphasis on the education system producing an ignorant afterbirth instead of a competent, ready for the real-world, well-rounded individual? Too bad. [/QUOTE]
