<p>Happy to discuss this with you publicly since you aired your opinions on a public board. I feel no need to contact you privately, and indeed have no idea how to do so.</p>
<p>My comment was based on the following: You toss off odd questions and assertions and do not respond to requests for clarification. One of your earlier posts was entitled, I seem to remember, “Villanova’ Finance Program Rated 34th! Gasp!” Two of us asked for a citation – a rational response I thought – but received no response from you.</p>
<p>Now you make a bizarre claim that since what is acknowledged to be one of the finest business schools in the world is within a couple of miles of Villanova, Villanova must surely feel inferior. I simply pointed out to you my sense that Villanova does not experience the inferiority you seem to ascribe to it. (Inferior, I hasten to point out is your term, not one I introduced.)</p>
<p>My final word on this matter is that if you don’t want to know what people think, you would be well advised not to ask for their thoughts.</p>
