  1. Now the question can be asked: "What do you think of the ongoing battle between Troy and Del?" For me, the old saying about "one looking at the cow's head, while the other is peering up her ass", fits this situation. Not mention that these 2 combatants are caught up in a contest to see who can lay claim to being the most misunderstood. But do they understand themselves? Are they guilty of what we all are? Sometimes failing to see ourselves as others do because of being either too subjective or in denial. Bottom line, personalities invariably get in the way when engaging in a debate. When it comes to a violent reaction to having your momma dissed, which is the bone of contention between Del and Troy, a lot hinges on the connotation given to the word "education". There is such a thing as an "educated fool", while wisdom and good judgment can be learned from the school of hard knocks. Violence is unpredictable because it's emotional. So is there a definitive conclusion as to whether an educated person will handle an insult to his mother better than uneducated one. Only if you replace the word "educated" with the word "sensible" and "uneducated" with the word "impulsive". Are we done yet??? 😲 @Del IMO, "class" is an indefinable factor. You either have it, or you don't. It's something money can't buy. Many people fall into the middle income bracket but this is not the same as being middle class because middle class is about your value system, not your pay check. When it comes to style, it can be either good or bad. And, BTW, could you be more specific in accusing me of "projecting" when i make observations about you.
  2. THANKS VERY MUCH, TROY! STUBBS & MYSELF APPRECIATE THIS GREATLY, & WHEN HE'S ABLE TO THANK YOU PERSONALLY, HE WILL.
