Note I not was home schooled nor will I home school my children. But, if you really are a professor - I would expect my homeschooling would be a hell of a lot better than the education my kids could get from any institution which hired someone with you facility for analysis and higher thought. (by the way I have a Doctorate, taught at a college and my wife has a masters degree -so our homeschooling might be pretty good. )
Why don't you explain why pabst was wrong and you were correct.
Your problem seems to be your students must be so stupid - they do not challenge your ridiculous comments - responses.
When someone writes something on the internet - and then you write something after reading it... It can be either a comment or a response. Your distinction was inappropriate and lacking in foundation.
Note I did not stat state "response and "comment" are synonyms only that your actions were specious, ignorant or even intellectually fraudulent -- once again.
