Then the colleges are a red herring...

Your analogy happened for real in a college, but that fact adds nothing specific that is applicable to Violent Fleas. The monkey-see would be just as valid if it had happened elsewhere, like in, say, Laramie...

I understand that analogy, btw. I just didn't (and still don't) understand why colleges come into play here.

Of course, if that is also a comment that because of people like that colleges have lost good fame, then it is also a valid comment, but then it is a red herring both ways, because Violent Fleas does not have any specific thing about her that makes colleges have a worse(ning) reputation.

OK OK by this point I am arguing just for the sake of arguing. But still, bear in mind that on GC people pick on others just for these kinds of offences to rules of logic... And my fave one to pick are red herrings...
