jrocnuck,

It seems you've been participating here on EE long enough to be aware of the rules...

jrocnuck

which rule are you refering to?

jrocnuck

or rules..

jrocnuck

were you aware that using terms like "simipleminded" is not really appropriate according to the rules?

jhance

Note that I said the APPROACH is simpleminded. I did NOT indicate that the user was. Take it up with the moderators.

jrocnuck

same back at ya jack...

The term simpleminded should never be used period, it is arrogant and the wrong choice of words. If you cared anything about the real reason this site exists, you wouldn't use words like that and say the kinds of things I've seen you say in other posts.

This site is about helping people, not belittling them or their methods or approaches and not about boosting your ego by appearing to be a genius.
