My posts were 100% civil. I have not noticed any "free for all" in this post, just an exchange of different ideas.
I remember when I was attempting to apply to Villanova university for an MA in History. My BA was in computers and I had a ton of additional credits but he would not accept me into the program until completed several more courses in History. On the surface I agreed but when I tried to explain my age/life experience and my broad scope of historical reading he stated, "the classes were to get me to begin thinking like a historian".
I hope this behavior is not indicative of the typical "historian" and NO, I did not go to Villanova for an MA.
