Okay, I accept that, I accept your word, and thank you for answering my question. A little levity now and then doesn’t take away from a serious problem, but what he posted was vulgar and crude, and you called it “a good one.” That seemed to negate taking this seriously, but I believe your post above. I believe you do care and do take iy seriously.
No, just because someone has a degree doesn’t make him or her an expert. I know that firsthand. I studied Catholic theology for six years, with no break, and I’m not an expert. However, when a LOT of genuine experts agree, they do have to be taken seriously and not just dismissed because they say something one does not like. If one doctor told me I needed a leg amputated, I’d get a second or third or fourth opinion unless it was an emergency. But if all the doctors agreed, I’d take them seriously. They shouldn’t be “just dismissed” because one (anyone) wants things another way.
