[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You two are being silly.  But the pp charging, guns-blazing, demanding to see credentials was unnecessarily offensive, condescending and picking a fight, IMO. (Even though I generally agree that "worth it" is intertwined with personal finance and choices and Andy Ferguson doesn't change my mind.). [/quote]
NP here - I didn't read it that way at all.  I think asking someone to clarify their meaning is a perfectly appropriate line of questioning for a subject like this.[/quote]
I think this is the language we're talking about -- not sure: 
[quote]How do you define "worth it"? What convinced you that the schools you visited didn't meet that standard? What convinces you that "many" other SLACs don't meet that standard? What kind of research have you done besides touring campuses?

On the college forum, not under cross-examination, I find this overly aggressive and way more than "merely requesting clarification" (and I agree that "worth it" is almost undefinable). Usually the college forum is a place safe to ask questions and get helpful info from people who have been there.  If it were up to me, I'd like to keep it that way. [/quote]
