Hi Frank,
I'll just repeat Stef's message: It's not about being straight or having unpopular opinions. It's about being rude and on the limit of the insult. I feel myself some harshness in your messages, it's like you're saying that everybody but you is stupid. I know that you did not say that "explicitly" but that's the way it feels. And I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling like it.
Of course, that did not prevent me to answer you politely, but at the end what will happen is that people will not answer you anymore. Just take into account that if many people think already that your mails are aggressive, there may be some fault on your side too.
That said, this does not mean that I want to "censor" you. Just choose better your words but keep the same content.
+1 to all you said.
And I would like to know why every smalltalk troll is german? That's so sad!
I think it is a subset of trolls. Not just smalltalk trolls are German, all trolls are German. Same mentat, from any other LandStuhl, is properly a ghoul, not a troll. I personally think it is because Germans' are taught to never hold their tongue, after WW 1 and 2. I would ask you, have you ever seen a German holding their tonguie? So, I ramble on in hopes you are not so sad.
Norbert
