OK, after 300 list messages read in one sitting, this one bugs me. Nothing he 
said points to this, but just putting myself in the place of recipient gives me 
a bad feeling. What kind of answer do you expect?? What is the goal?

People go about trying not to offend in all sorts of politically-correct ways 
here, but still find ways to try to just make someone feel bad. What kind of 
nonsense is that?

Offering a comment online is like giving a gift <of one's ability>. If you 
wouldn't want to receive it, you shouldn't give it... Especially if there's a 
doubt about the assumptions.

I know I just hate it when I ask a question somewhere online, risking looking 
stupid, or ugly, or whatever, which takes a bit of effort even online, and some 
jerk decides he's going to evaluate me, or my right to ask a question, or if 
the question is 'worthy' - while sitting behind his keyboard. Do people who 
write these things like to receive them too? If not, why are they written? 
Everyone here is a person, with feelings. It's even worse when folks gang up too.

I'll admit this one isn't the worst, but still, someone comes asking for help, 
showing he doesn't know everything, and he gets a slap. I know if that were 
assumed of me, after I went out on a limb with a group I respected, it would 
bother me for some time. It just isn't right.

As for disclaimer, I don't personally know the OP, but am willing to bet he's a 
human as he says, is sincere, and has feelings as all of us do. Online 
colleagues should be treated as such, until there is _proof_ the title doesn't 
fit, and then it's an admin problem.
