Your statement was:

"But he's a poor, starving kid who probably can't imagine actually having some savings and being able to own something himself."

My reply:
Strange statement.
Since he is in school, taking a class that YOU find important & or of interest to better yourself, WHY won't it help him improve his outlook?

Do you get nose bleeds at that level?

WHERE did you read (between the lines, in your imagination) I diminished you taking this class?
Since the class was one you thought important for YOU, why wasn't it for HIM?

I slammed you for your condescending attitude towards your classmate.

clo, 

re: "I don't recall commenting on your additional college education. My instinct would be to compliment you for your efforts to expand your knowledge."


Way back when, I'd mentioned a discussion with a classmate who was stunned that I was able to afford a farm.

#msg-696933

I wrote, "But he's a poor, starving kid who probably can't imagine actually having some savings and being able to own something himself."

Something in that post made you fly off the handle, implying that I'd said I saw no value in his taking classes. You lobbed an uncalled-for grenade my way to boot: "Do you get nose bleeds at that level?"

Most odd, today, to read that it was meant as a compliment. That was one strange compliment.
