It's standard Wikipedia procedure, to note where somebody "attended" high school.

They only rarely mention that someone graduated, though most of their subjects did graduate.

If you really wanted to find out whether James graduated or not, you could have done a bit more searching than just his Wikipedia article.

Don’t presume that I’m thinking this or that, please.

I was trying to make sense of what one sentence had to with the second sentence - what not mentioning that he in fact graduated had to do with noting a controversy that happened..

I pointed out that Wikipedia did not mention if James graduated or not. But they claim on their page (or whomever wrote that page) that his going to St. Vincent/St. Mary’s “stirred up controversy”, not I.

It looked like you had some agenda of your own, and were implying something without saying it, but wasn't clear exactly what it was.

But now that I know that there's no connection between the things you say - just more empty internet chatter - I realize I shouldn't have bothered commenting.

Again, what are you talking about?

You’re reading things into what I said that were never even there. I wasn’t concerned about James’ personal life in particular. Someone asked me something, and I just repeated back what Wikipedia said and didn’t say and wondered out loud why whomever wrote that page omitted certain details; I didn’t search any deeper than that. And you find it necessary to somehow find an epithet that seemingly fits (e.g. “empty internet chatter”) just to be denigrating in some fashion?

Maybe you need a vacation? I don’t know what’s stressing you.
