Quality degradation

[Norm]

When a moderator closes a thread for no valid reason and goes as far as saying that my post is stupid,while it is correct that is also very confrontational Norm. It is totally unacceptable. You did not answer my questions on that matter either. My intent is not about being confrontational but about having an open minded discussion in a respectful tone on precise numbers. I'll provide the answers requested later tonight. Quite busy this afternoon too.

>Your continued claim that it is without "valid reason" is incorrect. I don't know why you fail to understand this.
>Your claim that calling a post stupid is the same as suggesting that I "know" what I'm saying is false -- in essence calling me a liar, is way off base. Wikipedia has a very long essay on what is a personal attack. You wrongly accused me of lying. That is a personal attack. ICNT said your "post" was stupid, not that you were stupid. Please realize the difference between calling a person stupid and calling a post stupid. I call myself an idiot several times a day. I have certainly made stupid posts and thank anyone pointing such out. How else does one quickly learn? Indeed, look at the bottom of my post where I call myself an idiot.

Realize that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You are arguing against folks with decades of research behind them. Doesn't mean we are correct. New ideas are welcome. But, when they go against already covered ground -- expect negative feedback.
Further, realize that we are constantly attacked for blocking people and for not blocking people. Sometimes by the very same posters.
