Your right, they have nothing to do with Kiffin. I mean, what does Kiffin have to do with USC????? I don't know what I was talking about. Thanks for pointing out my blatantly contextually irrelevant comment.

You're welcome. Didn't want you pulling a "Josh Shaw" on us. Or worse pulling a "Josh Shaw" on yourself.

Ok, maybe you need this spelled out...
Josh Shaw - Recruited, and coached by a man named Lane Kiffin: thus, the contextual jump from Kiffin's "superb" character, both on the field and in life, to one of his recruited and coached players, using poor judgment and misrepresenting events.
This is called a contextually based relationship; a rather strong one.
Now, comparing a contextually based relationship too.... say.... lying publicly about committing a heroic act to defame the individual that identified the relationship.... is called?????????
- I'll be polite and write: demonstrates a poor argumentative skill-set, potentially derived from being ill-informed and/or the inability to employ complex reasoning.

Corrected Version:
If you want to be a smart ass, try using the correct version of "to". You are a Dumb duck. But, what do I know, I only went to UCSB.
Dumb duck. : sentence fragment - unable to stand on its own. In English, a sentence, at minimum, must have three words.
Use of commas tends to allow the reader to follow the flow and tense of the sentence more efficiently.
You do not need to use the word "only"; unless, there's a preexisting condition which may infer there are multiple universities attended, which may apply to the argument.
- I believe that I may be the ONLY one that needs to exercise that qualifier in this discussion. But, that would be my assumption.
I don't tend to correct grammar or typos in chat forums. Generally speaking, I find it to be an unproductive use of my time. However, maybe at UCSB, this is how they teach their products to address discussion pieces when they have nothing else relevant to contribute.
They may also teach students at UCSB to lace their corrections with errors. But again, that would be my assumption, given your response.
I'm fairly certain their (you see what I did "there"? ) are plenty of UCSB alumni that would be quite disappointed.

Sentences do not have to be 3 words (I, along with many others, disagree). A sentence can be one word and stand on its own (Yes. No. Run!). He doesn't need to use the word "only", but it's not grammatically incorrect to do so. You didn't have to use "Generally speaking". It would be assumed, but again, it's not grammatically incorrect (it is grammatically correct as long as appropriate punctuation is utilized). If you're going to attack someone's grammar, you should know what you are talking about. - I'd imagine that would be directed at both parties in this discussion; given, that was the impetus to my rebuttal.
"You do not need to use the word "only"; unless, there's a preexisting condition which may infer there are multiple universities attended, which may apply to the argument."
From this sentence, it's clear that you do not know when to use semicolons or commas. But what do I know, I only went to Dartmouth. - I was being overly critical on this point to demonstrate the absurdity of the original editor's position.
Also, you have no way of knowing that Josh Shaw would not have gone to USC if Kiffin was not the head coach at the time. Blaming Kiffin for this is a stretch unless you have evidence that Shaw had incidents prior to USC that Kiffin knew about or incidents when Kiffin was the coach. - I'm sorry for depreciating Kiffin's outstanding character in both life and profession.
