Oh, Im so sorry AS, I didn't realize you were posting all this to defend the freedom of speech. That you had to post such an honorable and honest comment against a new member to the community, in order to preserve the freedom of speech and show him what the community is made of.
This kind of posting and attitude from such a senior member as yourself, is sickening and your only making a fool out of yourself. There's a big difference in saying something is not good and giving advice on how to make it better compared to just throwing out harsh and trolling comments. Honesty is one thing, but at least I would like to keep the ED forums civilized.
But, Im sure your way of treating new members will make the community grow and flourish....
