Considering the "depth" of his views, I'm not at all surprised SlowSon finds it strange for a person to be educated and articulate...

Of course not. Education depends on money and time and has nothing to do with natural intelect. I mean his flow of thoughts, logical/rational thinking etc.

I suppose we can't all come from educated backgrounds and those that don't often show jealousy to those that do. Taking the micky out of someone because they are able to construct a sentence in a well thought out manner without dribbling all over their keyboard is silly when compared to what is being discussed here IMO.

To a degree, yes. But to wish to want make your life better - through education - can only come from within. You get out of education - within your own limits - what you put in.

You can also get a very good education without the need for vast amounts of money too.

Indeedy! My children get a very good education from their school, but the amount of effort we (the wife mostly - and I) also put in with homework, getting them to read, discussing and answering their questions etc is equally important to their education.

A good opportunity for me to apologise for things I've said before about your parenting.

Thanks, but actually, you have never been rude or offensive.

I can appreciate that some bad taste humour I have used in the past WAS offensive, and for that I apologise.

Since everybody is apologising, I think I'll join in. :) I'd like to apologise for post #241. I lost my temper a little, I was rude, and I neglected the golden rule of "discuss the post, not the poster".

Who's next? :)

It is very easy, is it not, to allow oneself to be lulled into a false sense of isolation form behind the keyboard. When your body language cannot be viewed along with the comment, its meaning and or intention can easily be misconstrued.
