<p>No 69, you’re doin’ it wrong. 
(This is not a sign of disrespect, its a saying & I’m kidding you when I say it) Sigh. What a majority are trying to say is that they are tired of being called “idiots” or having their own opinions ridiculed. Sometimes opinions aren’t always facts to always be corrected. People’s thoughts are important to them. Surely you can understand this as you value your own opinions pretty highly. Everyone in all the forums have such pride in having an Academy kid or being one in the first place. We witnessed what it took to get there and I know you know how very hard our kid’s lives are & what they give of themselves to do this thing. Yup, we cheer-lead alot for KP, and to your eyes, maybe in an over exuberant way. But not to ours. We see first hand what KP is. You can give the USNA perspective very very well & we love to hear it. Its the other stuff I fear that goes over like a lead balloon. How can I say this…help you guys… Its how you present your corrections of any facts posted that you feel are wrong. No need to land mine the area. For an example: Just say hey you guys, I found some statics I’d like to share showing there are this many flight spots at USNA & this many at KP, it would prove the point -OR- Here’s what I think about it. I think NA has better academics for those wishing to be in government because … and it would go over so much better than, You guys are morons. That is a lie! You flaming moonpies from hell kinda thing. Yes, this is an internet forum where in we don’t know each other face to face. Its not a free for all to kick someone in the shins for their beliefs or matters that they are sure they know to be fact & thats what most feel you have done. We’ve had this conversation before, you & I, & I’m not sure you got where I was coming from. It would be a nice change if you could come down on a human level where we all are so you’re not talking down to us all of the time. We eat cake down here & you’re probably welcomed to join us.</p>
