[quote=Anonymous]16:20 - yikes.  Lighten up, Francis.  You seem very angry.  Perhaps you should not give up ice cream for Lent - it'll only make you grumpier.

First: "Then, instead of thanking the poster, or adding any additional useful information to the debate as set up by OP, the nasties and the haters appear and start slinging mud and attempt to rip up the Poster's helpful essay by correcting grammar, spelling, vilifying him or her, making fun of being a red-neck, etc."  There wasn't any of that in the post, so I don't know what you're up in arms about.

Second: You wrote an interminable post about how Virginians should have more seats at state schools, mixed in with a PSA extolling the virtues of GMU.  I replied that Virginians have only themselves to blame - they elected the people who decline to fund the state schools at the lever that would make their desires a reality.  It doesn't appear that you dispute that notion - again, it's just math.  So what's the problem?

Third: Your real complaint is that I somehow maligned Virginia's Governor, to whom you appear very attached.  But again, you really don't dispute the notion that he, and his right-wing compatriots, have not pressed to fund Virginia state schools sufficiently that the institutions could afford to admit more in-state students.  (And the shallow education to which I refer is, of course, Regent "University."  But you knew that.)  If you have a philosophical problem with people criticizing (and yes, snarking at) politicians, may I respectfully suggest that this internet thing isn't for you?

Fourth:  If you were suffering from insomnia when you wrote your initial diatribe, you really had nothing better to do, right?

Fifth:  To go on a rant about keeping a post on point, and then wander into an inquiry about the President's grades and the First Lady's thesis?  Oy.

Sixth:  Of course you'll be back to check this thread.  If for no other reason that you appear to have an extraordinary amount of free time on your hands, coupled with insomnia.  [/quote]
