Again, rubbish. I doubt you have much experience with FMS at all, if that's your impression.

People like you only want to hear from others with like minded views. If I am wrong by all means point it out but leave out the profanity, its the sign of an individual whom hasn't got a command of the English language.

And so it becomes
ad hominem. If you perceive my bluntness as hostility, then that's a mistake. I acknowledge that I'm no diplomat (never have been) and if you'd had the long career arguing with the boneheads that I've had to argue with, you'd probably be the same. If you knew me, you'd know I'm not hostile (except in extremely rare circumstances that have yet to arise here). But if I see something as "rubbish" I won't hesitate to say so - it used to be my job.
PS: The profanity was being used for emphasis, as it often is - watch some late night TV talk shows, and I'm sure you'll see what I mean - it's quite common.
