You are probably just a butt hurt double master, too! Laugh out loud. Maybe even a PhD! Rolling on the floor, laughing. Truth hurts, eggheads – but you wouldn’t know anything about that! Shaking my head.
Without sharing too many personal details for privacy reasons, I likely have slightly less higher education than @squirrel_bear@sopuli.xyz. Based on the info provided alone we aren’t far off, but it might be valuable to also look at non-academic experience, what field, or how we compare to others in our field or region. I’m not comfortable sharing these details, so I’m fine with conceding that I have slightly less higher education.
Edit: I’ll also add that I don’t support namecalling.
Edit2: I want to carify that the topic is poorly educated, and in my opinion the belief that you know more about other people’s self interest than they do can come from a place of being poorly educated about those people.
While this is a true statement, it is also misleading. It does not speak to whether you intended it as an insult or not. Your three terse words presented without punctuation or even capital letters would be interpreted by most people as dismissive and insulting. No effort was taken to be careful of the recipient’s feelings, and it is easily anticipated by a highly educated person that it might be taken as an insult, so I can say with a high level of confidence that at the very least, you did not care if he took it as an insult or not, regardless of your actual intentions. In fact, it’s my personal opinion you wanted it to be received insultingly.
Why not. I have double masters from one of the world top 200 universities.
Whatever that means. What is the equivalent level of street smarts, egghead?

To be fair, while you didn’t use the word, you did call him uneducated.
IMO being called poorly educated doesn’t necessarily need to be taken as an insult

That’s what I am saying! Guy probably doesn’t have half your street smarts.
Like I said, we can’t tell from the info here alone, so I wouldn’t draw this conclusion.
