...is rude, arrogant and so totally and utterly STUPID that I'd be inclined to put the person on "ignore" from that point out.
I don't know, but it's been my observation that the people who ask for reactions to their ensembles are not the ones who act all resentful when the commentary goes contrary. There's usually some sort of pile-on by defenders, and so it goes.
I'd be willing to bet that part of what's behind the defensiveness that builds up among those who would flaunt "the rules" is that they understand there ARE conventions, but don't understand the reason for them or else don't see the place for them where they are in their station, and thus, not wishing to appear out of place in someone else's world, they work hard to claim territory in their own world.
Here in Cyberspace, our worlds appear to drift into each other's more often than they would in real life, I think, but it is only an illusion.
A long time ago, I thought that XMTS had committed to putting up with each other, (the "Don'ts" thread notwithstanding) owing to so many other common interests.
