I am sorry to hear that you feel so hurt. You made a mistake. So what? We're only humans, we're supposed to make mistakes. And if I were given the luxury of getting to choose where I'll make my next mistake, I'd pick the QotD in an instant. It's not like lifes are at stake here!

I know I can dish out harsh criticism, but I always do so in the hope of providing ways to improve (and I get from the rest of your message that you take it that way). I always try (but probably still sometimes fail) to target my words to the topic, not to the person, and to maintain a positive tone. And in the situations where I do fail to come over that way, please remember that I don't intend to cut you, or anyone, down.

Some other posters may come across as more blunt - but when I submit a question(**) and find myself at the receiving end, I always try to disregard any negativism and end up with the improvement suggestion hidden in those messages. And then I consider whether I agree with that suggestion or not, and respond to that.

(Oh, and if people really start attacking me, I try to ignore it. Just as I do with all the silly "give me my point" messages).

(**) And yes, I know it's been way too long since I last submitted a question. I'll try to do better in the future. But not now - no time!
