I visit several message boards on a variety of issues, and it's my understanding that a different standard is in place regarding grammar, etc. A more conversational tone is acceptable. Maybe that's part of the problem of language skills degenerating. Personally, I think it's just part of our living language's evolution. Online forums are not essay contests. They're a place to have our small voices heard. I found the original post to be thoughtful and well communicated, yours, on the other hand, was obnoxious and offensive. If you are so enlightened on the issue of education, one would think you would know how to say your piece without crass language. I'm still on the fence on the MCAS issue. I've heard good arguments on both sides. Your contribution, however, was not very persuasive.
