[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 356982, member: 198"] I must defend Rocky here and let's look at why. The following comment was made (directed at someone else and not Rocky)..... "Where did you get your degree? Are you using it? Why would someone that has such an understanding of the economy be hanging out on this blog?" Rocky (because he has an education and maybe was offended by the comment) responded with...... "I have two degrees, one from a school well-respected in its region, the other highly respected regionally, nationally AND internationally. I still hang out on this board despite my education (not very often but I still check in), so I don't understand your point. Are you saying that those of us with more education wouldn't be interested in the talk on this board?" He was clearly questioning the first comment. It wasn't meant to be a statement of fact. Just look at the last sentence from Rocky above. Some of you have taken his comments out of context and made him look like an educated snob when in reality the purpose of his comment was questioning a comment that was insinuating that someone with an education should not be hanging out on this board. I just feel that some of you are attacking the wrong guy here. I think it's because some people aren't reading all of the posts. Keep coming to the board Rocky. Some of us understood what you were saying. [/QUOTE]
