You (falsely) assume that a strong defence is mutually exclusive with a kind/polite reply. On the contrary, I urge you to consider how your ad hominem attacks deter and distract from the points you try to make, by instigating a defensive mood in the reader and potentially driving them away from the community. Reading your recent posts here, I get the impression that you seem to be quick to jump to conclusions about people and their backgrounds you may not know well, and either vilify and assume the worst in them, or try to belittle them by calling them names. I doubt anyone, including myself or you, is born into this world an all-knowing being from day one. Further, this kind of behaviour does little to encourage learning and correcting misunderstandings/misconceptions. Please STOP this, reconsider how you interact with your fellow subscribers on this list, and please read <https://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet:About/Code_of_Conduct> and <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html> before replying again.
