Although I don't make a habit of giving advice to 33 year olds, I'll make an exception since this attitude of yours seems to be somewhat of a pattern.
Imagine you and I are both straight lines, like this:
Me: --------------------------
You: --------------------------
If you have some need to make yourself appear better than another, making childish personal attacks might seem to you to make my line smaller, but it in fact is doing the exact opposite. If you want your line to be longer than mine, improve your own rather than try to cut mine down. Offer your point of view, and back it up to prove your point.
On a side note, when readers in this thread post things like "LMAO" or "HAHA", it might be a good indication that this is a joke.

After this I won't give your crap the benefit of a "bump" any longer.

I don't mean to offend, but did you go to college?

Namely, of course you mean to offend. Why else would you ask the question? If he says "Yes, I went to college" you'll say "Well you didn't learn anything". If he says "No, I didn't go" you'll say "Well it shows". Even if you don't say it, the inference will come across either way.
In short, there's nothing to be gained from the question except an insult (whether spoken plainly or not). The very question itself infers volumes...
Sorry, but you're doing to him what he has done to you previously (in my eyes, at least).
