Doug,

>It is far far easier to tear a building down than to build one.

What about pointing out the weak spots and trying to repair them ?

No seriously, I think jeff has some point in expressing that a MVP who's being rude is not accetable. O.K. Everyone crosses this border sometimes, we all can forgive people who are being rude if it's an exection.

I've been here on the UT for about two years now, and I see that the last month the rudeness in message from MVPs cross the borderline more often than in the past. MVPs should be professional on a higher level. MVPs who practice rudeness too often should lose their MVP status, no matter what their contribution to the community was in the past. One heavy condition of becoming a MVP should be that this individual has good communication skills with other people. IMO, technical skills are not enough.

IMO, rudeness is totally unacceptable and should not be being practiced by MVP's.

Walter,
