Re: A modest request of Merlyn

merlyn, you to are a fool!

By your own petard, taking foolish actions makes you so, and ignoring politeness for the sake of expediency is foolish.

Neither making a mistake, nor not knowing better, is foolish. It is lack of knowledge or experience. You have both, but as anyone who has breezed by this place for more than a couple of months has seen, you know being rude offends people, but still you do it.

That's being a fool!

If knowing being rude offends people and doing it is being a fool, what is posting a scathing comment anonymously? If you have been around for more than a couple months as is implied, why not sign up an account? You don't necessarily have to give up any personal information to do so. If memory serves, you can get an account here with just a throw-away email address as an identifier, and everything else is either optional or you can be another John Doe from Anytown, USA. Using an account is really the best way to communicate in threads like this. Otherwise it just looks like anonymous bashing and your point is missed because people either ignore the post, or assume it is from a member who doesn't want to show their negativity on the record.
