Mod Post
Okay, people, listen up.
This community is founded on the princple that we were all new once, and that we all have something to learn.
Are you allowed to dislike other users and their posts? Absolutely. Are you allowed to be consdescending, rude, or petty in your comments and posts here? No, you are not.
Demonstrate respect towards fellow members, please, when responding.
That said, abusing the community and its members is also disrespectful, and repeated acts are not tolerable. Being new is no excuse to be impolite, and although we are all ignorant at the start, willfully remaining so constitues an abuse of resources -- and when other people are volunteering, in their own free time, to be your resource, that is highly ill-advised.
I, like many of you that have e-mailed or commented, am not always pleased with some of the questions we receive here. There are posts and posters here who break rules, and I try my best to deal with them accordingly. But "vigilante" abuse in the comments is a horrible way to deal with members, and I don't like seeing it here. Is that quite clear?
We now return you to your regularly scheduled learning.
