That may be so (for some value of foul) but you are still being rude
to anyone who might have a different opinion. So that you have
corrected yourself is a blatant lie.

If a large number of people complain about your behaviour then
take the hint, try to understand what they find rude and stop
doing it. FYI any statement from you along the lines of:
'one million lemmings can't be wrong' or statements of similar
intent, I will regard as rude, childish, and not to the point.

I am seriously considering leaving if I see any more of this kind of
post from IMBJR. Not only does it takes too much time to go through
these senseless discussions, but I feel often so offended that it
takes also a considerable amount of time to calm down.
(IMBJR: any comment hinting at my sensitivity I will consider rude,
childish, and not to the point.)

Is there a place where I can register a formal complaint?
