there is a difference between constructive criticism and snide comments and i think that is a very important distinction to make. i agree, that node was no more curt than many of the nodes i see here daily. you have made my point for me. there are a lot of thoughtless responses here. that just happened to be the one that ticked me off enough to say something.
in case you didn't notice the message wasn't criticising me, so i hardly think my skin is as thin as you would like to believe. and you can flush my reputation for all i care. i use this place as a resource for my job, not my bbs. i had hoped to maybe become part of this site, but this is exactly the sort of volley that makes me glad i didn't waste time trying to become a dedicated monk.
sO yOU hAVE dISCOVERED mY sECRET. i dO nOT sUBMIT tO mANY cONVENTIONAL pRACTICES. you can keep your generosity to yourself. i choose not to capitalize many things, there are personal reasons and i wouldn't care to explain them even if i thought you cared. as to my spelling, apparently you were able to decipher my non-standard organization, so i don't worry about it. it seems like you were simply making a childish attempt to feel
cooler, smarter or whatever.
you can rest assured that after today you will not hear any more of my comments. i have no time for this retarded trading of upset. i put my thoughts out there, and i just hope one person will think before they make another smart-alec response to a real question.
