I suggest you consider the difference between what you say and how you
say it.

This, I think, is what MSFET is referring to...

It is also a difference that I have been known to struggle with
myself...

Another (vey important) thought: does someone else's impoliteness give
your or me license to be impolite? I have my own opinion there (though
I don't always live up to it).

BTW, in some circles, some opinions will get you in trouble no matter
*how* you say them. There are times and places (yes, I live in 4D as
well) where my mouth stays shut - or my keyboard stays idle :-) And
I'm not even referring to life in a dictatorship here.
