 Few, I do have a thick skin, but aren't you blowing this a bit out of
 proportion, I don't think is that bad.

 I admit that this list could be more newbie friendly.

 Where I came from most of us make comments up front to each other,
 without many niceties and accept everybody is entitled to their opinion,
 whatever that might be. If we don't agree we might express our opinion,
 or just don't make any fuss of it.

 At the end of the day the most important opinion is the one you
 have about yourself.

 P.D.: I have learnt some interesting things from flamewars.
