Then maybe you ought to read some old nodes. Plenty of acrimony and offense and monks leaving in anger after fights back then. sundialsvc4 has skated for years without posting a single piece of code that would compile or help another user while hand-waving paragraph after paragraph with enough buzzwords that it was impossible for a casual reader to know if the advice was truth or fluff. Fine, but at the same time going on and on about decades of experience and competence and range of skills…? No, not cool. It’s not bullying to call it out. I gave at least two warnings that I was about to start doing so. This isn’t a social site. It’s a professional forum for a scientific/engineering pursuit. SO would downvote every bit of it into oblivion without a scrap of the tolerance and attempts to kindly correct the path found here.
