Isobel, I never say anything insulting to you - I respond to the gist of what you are saying. Instead of doing this, you say insulting things to me in return. I find that to be provoking and yes it does create a sense of anger, which you do not seem to understand.

It is easy to make snide remarks and rude coments. Why don't you try making comments that address what I say for a change?

Experience - you feel it is somehow a negative thing.

Education - you also feel is somehow a negative thing

What do you consider to be positive? Inexperience and ignorance?

I will stick with the experienced teacher over the inexperienced one, the educated one over the ignorant one every day. The proverb to the contrary, ignorance is NOT bliss.

Although it does enable one to continue ad hominem attacks rather than address the point of the matter

Are you actually bragging about your lack of education and your inexperience?
