I am curious why you accuse me of having an abusive personality. I occasionally express things in a very strong fashion, sometimes intentionally and sometimes not. But I have a general belief that people really can improve. Indeed I have expressed exactly that belief about you in past discussion. By contrast merlyn every so often explains that he thinks some people simply should not be programmers, they don't have what it takes.

So our respective positions as I see it are diametrically opposed from what your position appears to be, and so I am wondering how you came to your current opinion.
