Calling someone as "asshole" is acceptable, simply because they asked an incomplete question? Or asking if they are related to "carpet boy"?
That's ad hominem, unnecessary and unprofessional. Whilst we might have disagreements, let's keep the conversation civil, and talking about the topic and not the man/woman.

It makes people think - about thinking for themselves and to make greater considerations of the details involved with whatever their question may be - before they ask an incomplete question, or try to move forward with an incomplete thought again. This list, while very friendly, has been more tolerating than recently than in the past of such things. Not necessarily a bad thing, but also something notably annoying to many more experienced professionals. And there is the rub; this is a bitch-slap, not an act of unprofessional - because this is not a professional forum. This forum is highly social, and a bitch-slap is a social adjustment. -- Espi On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 7:30 PM, Jonathan Link <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: While I may not employ Gary's colorful vocabulary, I agree with his basic sentiment.
