Do you make a habit out of blatantly insulting people you don't know? Why would I want to try and understand your position when you obviously make no effort to reciprocate? Debating facts is always a good thing to do. It helps everyone involved grow intellectually, but apparently this is not your intention.
You are right and I apologize. I was short with you and there really is no excuse for it except that over the past few days I have been putting up with being followed around and being personally attacked from domeone and I took it out on you. It was not right and it should not have happened but, Redneck is not the same as Hillbilly.

Ok, I understand but it is not the true definition and of course is nothing but another stereotypical definition.

Also, may I ask in which field is your Master's degree, and the University from which it came? I do consider myself an academic, and I believe intellectual people by nature should be considering and open to different views. A sign of intelligence is the ability to contemplate other opinions without any judgment for or against the person. Despite the fact that you have a Master's degree, from what I have seen by no means do you act educated.
I don't think you act like you are as educated as you say you are either. So, what does that prove njow? Not a thing really, except that you felt the need to personally attack me. There ya go, you got it done and I hope that you feel better. It seems funn y that in the same post you make a bifg deal about how I persoanlly attacked you and then you made sure you personally attacked me. I find that quite hypocritcal and not educated at all. BTW, my education is really none of your business. I am not dumb enough to post personal information about myself on the internet. I have been using and part of the internet community far too long to fall for that one. I was giving internet access to my members of my BBS long before there was ever a WWW part of it.
I apologized to you and that is far as I will go because I owe you nothing else. You are not as educated acting as you want people to believe either.

I find it hard to take this post seriously when you cannot even use correct spelling. I am not attacking you personally, I am merely saying it does not appear that you consider other opinions when posting on CD forums. I might be wrong, but that is my observation.
I am also not asking you to give away personal information, I am just curious as to your field of study. For example, my degrees are in Computer Science and Business Administration. Following that, I want to point out just because you have used computer networks prior to 1991 (the year the first browser was created for the World Wide Web) does not really add anything useful to this debate.

I don't use a spell checker, like so many do, and I type fast and get the message posted. Of course, when one feels the need to attack spelling and/or the correct English usage it shows that they have nothing to debate. Thank you for that. This is an internet forum and not a business letter, or for that matter, a thesis.
My first field of study was American History and then I went back to scool and got a degree in Electronics.
I notice that with you, you seem to think that something does not add anything useful as long as it isn't you who posted it. I do completely understand that because many people really do have inferiority complexes and the internet seems to be the way they are able to make themselves feel better about themselves. I don't edit all of my posts because I have a life outside of the internet and the computer. I also do a lot of computer graphics in my spare time. So what?
Listen, I tire of reading about how much you think of yourself and how think so little of others who have differing views. Maybe you and MexicanGuy could get together since you both seem to like to personally attack and then act like you did nothing and blame it all on the other people..
