Yes, you were.

>Why you let that bother you so much is way beyond my comprehension. I understood that you had some axe to grind with UT Management back then and attributed it to that. Seems I was wrong.

>>My whole take on the troll alert things is that I do not need anyone else trying to determine what I should read or not. Walter and I have gone back and forth on this issue back in the days of JVP. If you get to a post that you find sensitive, or just plain stupid, then stop reading. I do not think someone else should consider it their right to suppose what I think is inappropriate.

>>>I'm perfectly happy for people to say anything they choose. However, that freedom is balanced by a responsibility called "sensitivity". Nobody would regard it as a freedom of speech issue if a Christian missionary decided to loudly proclaim the good news in a Mosque. Nor is it necessary for self-proclaimed dotNET converts to come to the VFP forum every day with provocative taunts. That's not freedom of speech, that's just antisocial. IMHO. So if they do it, I hope people add a TROLL ALERT post so we can ensure that no more of our technical contributors are lost to us.
