"Respect here is earned - not given under duress. I’ve earned what respect and friendship I have here. And I have quite a bit, primarily because I understand the simple concepts of courtesy and manners. No one’s asking you to bow and kowtow to anyone. Simply act like an adult, and you’ll probably be alright. Keep up the nasty tongue lashing routine, and your days here will be few."

That was very well said; thank you. I haven't got a terribly impressive tenure (to put it mildly) built up yet, but I've known since even before I signed up that the level of decorum and civility expected in this place is an order of magnitude above what I've witnessed by this individual, both on this thread and on previous ones.

Sniff, sniff.

I checked its short posting history, and it's full of bitter nastiness toward one and all. Utter rudeness is about the best way to describe that one's attitude.

You can't even begin a discussion with someone who behaves like that.
