| > You could make a similar point by saying something like "I don't like the message he's sending so I won't participate" Sooo.... "be more professional in your writing"? Why does this person owe you "professional writing" on their personal comment? |

It seems absurd to brand an entire community as "assholes" based on some disagreement with a blog post by one member. I suspect great GP didn't mean it that way, but it would help to have some clarification. | | |
