Not an easy lesson to learn

Which is obvious from what followed here.

I've had my own issues over time in exactly this regard.

Which is why I said >I wish<...knowing full well that the issue identified would >not< change...since being >correct< is more important than being nice.

Took me a long time

but I try not to post in threads that feel more hostile than informative - no matter the content.

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

We've lost several...

...over this exact issue.

And...as it is said...I am not without sin.

The sad part is I have met many here >In Real Life< and find them all to be people that I would, given proximity and an introduction, be fast friends with. This includes people that I have been "combative" with in these fora.

However, "combative" has occasionally in the past and more often in the present turned to straightforward abuse for no other reason than to be nasty. Intellectual dishonesty from people that I >KNOW< know better.
