Hmm. Another user new to the English language. Did I NOT say that I do
not attack people who disagree with me, and in fact have thanked people
who have corrected errors I have made or shown that certain suggestions
I have made have problems? 

I THEN said that I only take issue with people who use personal insults
and smart-aleck replies as their modus operandi most of the time -- and
not only with me.

I do not take "everything" personally. Why the hyperbole? 

If you could do a word search on this ng, you'd find that the word
"troll" is used 80 percent of the time by the same four or five users.
That's their answer to everything -- "He's a troll. *plonk*. See if you
can find three or four posts by Bri-Bri in a row without him calling
someone a troll, or find a long thread where he hasn't eventually jumped
in calling someone a troll. It's gets very old. 

While YOU may not have a problem with personal insults, please do not
tell those of us who were not raised by wolves that "you can be as
smart-alecky as you want...". 

If you were to make a suggestion, and I were to call you an idiot for
making it, rather than addressing your response, would you NOT have a
problem with that?

You've called me an idiot for complaining about being called a troll for
asking questions and making suggestion by people whose main contribution
is throwing in one-liners and insults that do not add to discussions.
Isn't that what a troll is?

You come here like Little Miss Muffet trying to fix everyone -- a
classic sign that you are the child of at least one alcoholic. 

Please do me a favor and killfile me, which some use as some kind of
victory dance, rather than realizing it as the obvious defeat it is for them.
