Look, I don't know how I can state this any clearer. Cursing the way people do on this site does not look "professional" in any way, "somewhat" or otherwise. In fact, the censoring just makes it look more childish. This is not a personal attack; I am simply stating how it appears to me. Digital media is a form of communication the same as literature or film, and it has its own language, and when language gets misused facts get distorted, stories have stupid endings, and peoples' feelings get hurt.

Now, as to when it's appropriate to be uncivil, (that is, if you truly cannot accept honest criticism for what it is) I would refer you to the section just below Insulting/Trolls in your own User Policy. Now, maybe it isn't against the rules to not avoid a conflict, but it seems like it would still be in your best interest to do so, if only to preserve good relations with other users and to make your own self above reproach. Why should someone waste their time listening to you if you can't follow your own rules?

I haven't created an account here because I have no interest in writing about my own vs. battles on this site. And I certainly won't be doing so now that I know what kind of treatment to expect from other users.

But don't worry, Leolab, I won't be reporting your attacks to an admin. I'm going to follow my own advice (and your policy) and ignore you.

Guy who is tired of screaming at a brick wall as if by screaming at it he may change its nature.

P.S.

Merry Christmas.
