The thesis was that folks with a higher degree were more aggressive but this decayed over time.

When you issued an infraction on my main forum account, I asked if you had a college degree, interested in seeing if this correlation were at least anecdotally true, and you responded by accusing me of attacking you, and then banning me entirely.

I am somewhat perplexed at your reaction.

Perplexed? Seriously? You sent a cryptic message, questioning my level of education without a hint of reasoning or explanation, knowing full well you'd provoke a response. Or do your typical methods of research include walking up to total strangers and asking them random questions about their personal life? If you're a tenured professor, I hope it's the former rather than the latter, or else you've fleeced the hell out of your department chair.

But hey, good luck on that project!
