>>If you want to know the real me ... I'm here. Get to know me. Ask questions. Learn something about me. You might find you learn more than you thought possible in the process.

Yes, but I come here because smart people answer questions or describe solutions that I didn't know about. Perhaps sometimes I can offer the same in return. Anything that threatens this peaceable exchange is a tragedy IMO- and if I want to get to know somebody, there's a Chatter forum.

Final words on the subject (definitely this time!)

Once upon a time in a little village, 3 large dogs used to sleep outside the bakery in the midday sun. For years, townsfolk would step around the dogs as they went about their business.

One day, a man called Rick arrived in town. When he spied the dogs, Rick climbed to an upper level and from his position of safety, he dropped a large rock onto one of the dogs.

"Dogs can be dangerous and might have attacked somebody," proclaimed Rick. "We needed to know. I did a public service."

My advice to Rick is that next time he wants to do a public service, maybe check with the passers-by whether they want rocks dropped on the dogs, or at least do it where you face the consequences of your actions yourself, rather than somebody else.

AKA "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie."

The other banale quotation would be that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." You need to respect the reception from the audience before which you cast your pearls. Otherwise you risk this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6ubiUIxbWE

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
