103. I don't think you understand what people do at a discussion board

"Next time, please keep that to yourself"

At a discussion board, people discuss. They don't keep their opinions to themselves.

"I have two master's degrees and am a PhD candidate."

Your level of education is irrelevant to this discussion. What is relevant is that you stated "I find it reprehensible that so many here are attacking the family..." but you didn't make the slightest effort to support your claim that DUers attacked the family.

"I really do not appreciate being condescended to like I'm five years old"

I never meant to treat you like a five year old as I wouldn't expect any 5 year old to be able to give a concise definition of "attack" or "hyperbole".

"But, just to see if you do this with others, I will keep track to see if you just targeted my post or you are a word hound for everyone here on DU."

Whatever floats your boat. I've been here a long time.

An immunocompromised four-month-old should be at home, isolated and protected. sop Sep 2021 #11

That's just a different form of politics fescuerescue Sep 2021 #79

My point is that is is NOT a matter of language Ms. Toad Sep 2021 #84

So you feel that there is no disagreement on these matters at all? fescuerescue Sep 2021 #88

My point is that disagreements are scientific and medical disagreements, Ms. Toad Sep 2021 #91
