ok, then don't read this:

you are the one who has been missing my point all along and 
I'm glad you're done with the conversation. I've understood that 
you weren't bragging about yourself from the first, I am well 
aware you were trying to convince me that Berklee is not a 
factory, which I never said it was. I clearly said it felt LIKE a factory 
to ME, not that it always turns out bad musicians or anything 
even close to that.. You continue to fail to see MY point that I am 
only voicing my opinion and experience and I will not let you 
police me for that.

thanks for ending it,
