An open reply from 'an educator'

Education
Thunderf00t
Many didn't like the kinda pissy tone of the original video (although notably also many thought the bitchslap was well deserved!). Well yes, but I really just see that as a fairly predictable response when pogobat, aka Dan Brown just put out a video to some 200k subscriber basically pissing on, and badmouthing university education.
To paraphrase:
'It was getting in the way of my education'
'just about learning lots of facts'
-How would you have expected me to respond?
Well anyway, this is the response after taking a deep breath and counting to ten... well actually a lot more than 10!.
Dan seems to have changed his tone somewhat. Apparently he's offended that I insulted his parents(?)... yup I was like WTF too... apparently he couldn't tell the difference between 'get a parrot' and 'get a parent' (hearing fail?).
He also seems to have 'fled the field' so to speak in that his reply basically entailed his stating that he only wanted to 'stimulate debate' (troll?). Well fine, if he wanted to badmouth education, then say that he didn't really mean any of it, he just wanted to stimulate debate, fine, but don't claim that you're not like Glenn Beck afterward!
If you want to put forward ideas on the open forum, either have the guts to stand by them Dan, or to admit your wrong. Pissing on the university education system, then tucking your tail between your legs and running off when someone tells you that you are talking crap is unlikely to impress anyone, let alone when your justification for 'fleeing the field' mostly revolves around 'but you called me and my parrot names'. To me this looks like you are just looking for face saving excuses, but then again, thats exactly how I read your 'I dropped out of school' video too.
