That's certainly true, but in no way addresses the childishness of 
using someone's school as an argument against their point of view.
Did you even read the post before commenting on it?  If you did, you
certainly would have determined that the "level this discussion requires" 
referred to the serious questions being raised by the bail issue.  Quit
finding things where they do not exist just for the sake of denigrating 
Duke or its students.  It is beneath you.

Again, this statement is *completely irrelevant* to the post, its contents, 
and especially the part you quoted above.
