You and I could take some lessons here Crowley, especially the first post, we have both broken most of those 'Netiguette' rules don't you think?
It seemingly assumes that people act differently online than they do 'in real life'. I am who I am. I act the same here as I do in person, so this doesn't apply.
I have impeccable manners, but there comes a point where we need to be brutally honest. I have long since reached this point with you and many other posters here.
You see it as rude and personal attacks, I see it as brutal honesty brought about by reaching a point of no return.
"To thine own self be true;
And it must follow, as the day the night,
Thou can'st not then be false to any man"
It's important to get that last line exactly right, putting the 'then' where it belongs, otherwise the speech rhythm is disturbed. And, at risk of labouring the point, the lines contain true Shakespearean wit. For, applied to the honourable Laertes, the instruction holds true; but applied to the old fraud Polonius, it's so much windy cant.
