Funny how my post still didn't generate an apology or even admission from you that you belittled a member. And then, ironically, you borrow my term, belittling--I've done no such thing, and which you DID do. And to say that someone did that to you! That you're atually the victim here! My gosh man, can't you see yourself clearly?
Not only that, how much praise must I lavish on you for you to not consider me "belittling your data"? For God's sake, I complimented you on your technical contributions, and noted (and have done) in the past! And not a disrespectful backhanded compliment, either, like srfreddy. Do I need to give you an award or trophy? When you've not had one kind word for me, even when I've lavished praise on you in the past? It's not the technical part which is lacking in your posts here, it's your lack of tone of civility which has cropped up more than once. Your last post is just more of the same.
I see now that you don't distinguish between your personal negativity and your edifying technical contributions. To call you out on insulting a member for no good reason, IS "belittling your contribution of technical data". You can't see the difference. You can't find it within yourself to discern the dual fact is that your technical contribution is edifying to this forum, while your crass attitude detracts from this forum even moreso (a little of that crap goes a long way). You're metaphorical of CPF: tons of great data, deeper than even most flashlight enthusiasts would ever go, with a quickness to subjective negativity that makes people go, "nevermind". And then look for a forum like BLF, which I don't want tainted with the poison of CPF.
If you can't see the inappropriateness of what you did, seriously, just leave or take my word for it and learn to freakin' be nice. It would help you to be in a service industry where your survival depended upon how you treated people.
And while srfreddy's piling on again: if you really prefer CPF to here, why do you spend so much time posting here? BLF was created specifically to get away from the negative attitude and restrictiveness of CPF. In fact, BLF wouldn't even exist if it weren't for the negativity of CPF. And CPF has I think literally about 100x more members (at least it used to), and a lot more super-smart people on it than here. You yourself have been called out for repetitively making posts which are just assertions, without backing yourself up or often even explaining yourself, and that wasn't by me. So it's bizarre you'd feel you have any standing to find fault with another's post? I don't like your style anymore than you like mine, but with you, it's remained on-topic. And therefore instead of personal, it's an interesting debate, with differing points of view, which people can consider both sides and make up their own mind (and, are coming to diverging conclusions--you shouldn't find fault with that).
This is not about "IMR vs LMR". It's about whether a member can think that his contributions are so valuable, that it gives him the right to belittle and insult others whenever he feels like it. The harm caused by such negativity, is greater than the good done by any technical submissions, Mitro. And that goes for anyone else who would behave similarly. You try that crap here, and I will annoy you more than my on-topic posts do. At least here I don't have to worry about standing up for the innocent guy, where such a person ran the risk of being threatened or worse. Seems on CPF, the moderator always came down on the side of the jerk, and was often the prime instigator of such jerkiness anyway, which only enabled and encouraged it. That doesn't seem to be the case here, does it. I will call out anyone who brings that tension in from CPF, and I call upon others to, too.
