Spazz,
Your opinions are welcome here. There is nothing wrong with disagreement on any given issue. There is no reason why you should get "boo'd off stage and beat up afterwards" as long as your opinions can be expressed in a respectful and friendly manner.
This is a forum that is populated mostly with people who are pursuing a degree via Distance Learning, and primarily via 'testing out'. After all, that's what Instantcert is all about. So it is natural that you will be in the minority if you reject the utility of a distance learning degree or the legitimacy of testing out.
It's totally fine to disagree. However, your posts have a tendency to come across as rather abrasive and curt. Also, you sometimes seem to attack the poster rather than amicably discuss the content of their post. This is entirely unnecessary and inappropriate.
We're a very friendly bunch here. We try to encourage rather than discourage whenever possible. We try to support rather than disparage whenever possible. For the most part, we express opinions and discuss alternative viewpoints politely.
I want to encourage you to continue expressing your opinions and discussing the various issues raised. But please try to do it in a courteous and respectful way. You will find that, with few exceptions, you will receive the same level of courtesy and respect in return.
I hope you will receive this encouragement in the spirit with which it is intended, and that we can all continue to discuss a wide range of issues, including differences of opinion, in an appropriate manner.
Thanks,
Snazzlefrag
