Those who can, help, Those who can't, complain.

First, I don't claim to be the expert you do but if I did possess the
knowledge and skill you have I wouldn't use it as an excuse for questionable
behavior. These things are not necessarily connected, and those who can help
needn't be cruel in the process...and sometimes you leave out the help
entirely and only dish out the cruelty. In what social sphere is that
acceptable behavior?

Anonymity has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of people who post on
this and other forums with "screen names" and "aliases" who are not
criticized for being doing so nor accused of "hiding their identity" as Mr.
Schmid suggest.

And my posting "anonymously" doesn't invalidate my opinion which I have the
right to express in a public forum. When posting on a public forum such as
this, we all run the risk of others expressing their opinions about our
behavior, including yours of mine, just as I expressed my opinion of yours,
but somehow only mine is deemed inappropriate. Interesting double standard.

Sure there are. But not one of those personally attack others. There is
a big difference between asking for help using an anonymous nick versus
launching a personal attack on someone who is not anonymous. Your
behavior is equivalent to shooting or stabbing someone from behind,
which are both despicable in the eyes of most societies worldwide.

The people replying here volunteer several hours a day by helping other
people and have also earned the respect of all the others replying. You
on the other hand are just a cowardly troll in the eyes of the community
replying here. So, what did you expect?
You need to earn respect first before you can dash out critic in cases
where you weren't even the one who received the, in your eyes, offensive
reply.

Listen, unless you have a specific instance to complain about, simply
labelling my responses as cruel shows your lack of understanding of the
English language and its usage.

You are now on my banned list of people to whom I will respond. Wasting my
time with you only takes away from the time I can spend actually helping
someone who has a clearly articulated problem, as opposed to you who simply
labels my posts as cruel and vindictive without any backup or justification.

Goodbye - it has NOT been a pleasure.

There is no bodily harm being met out or being sustained. And there is no
"from behind" in a forum. I'm right here taking your criticism. It's an
absurd metaphor.


replying here. So, what did you expect?

I expect exactly what I am getting. Your opinion of my behavior. I have no
problem with you expressing it, nor do I have any problem trying to come to
my own conclusion as to it's validity.

It's called a dialogue. Wherein lies the cowardly behavior?
You and everyone on this forum has the same "access" to me as I do of all of
you. There is no disparity here.

I agree "_"
Milly is probably just an old smelly trout with nothing better to do!
