Oh dear. So sorry that my memory is crap enough to not provide you with the exact details you require. ...every comment is trying to look like a paper published in a highly acclaimed journal It was an anecdote about my previous experience with 'yes' and /dev/zero, it seemed somewhat on-topic. I'm not trying to justify anything or win magic internet points. If you're expecting journal-quality posts, perhaps you should go read a journal and not an internet forum chat.

What you write doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that it's not OK for me to tell you that what you wrote is garbage.

  You're free to spout your vitriol just like the people downvoting you into oblivion are free to use their downvote ability to express their dislike with your attitude. Free speech means you're free to express your ideas, it does not mean everyone else is forced to listen to them. It's hard for me to view your comment as anything other than flamebait. You're calling out someone in an aggressive tone, "You don't even know what you're talking about! Bah-humbug!" and then crying crocodile tears that other people are "being mean" to you.

Free speech means you're free to express your ideas, it does not mean everyone else is forced to listen to them. Did I disagree with that anywhere? Do you have a reference comment by me to point to? > It's hard for me to view your comment as anything other than flamebait. Ok. > You're calling out someone in an aggressive tone, "You don't even know what you're talking about! Bah-humbug!" I said I don't think they know what they're talking about. Without any of the shenanigans you portray here. > and then crying crocodile tears that other people are "being mean" to you. What? Where did I claim anyone is being mean to me? I made my argument to everyone who asked why I was being combative. So again, do you have a reference comment by me to point to?
