I have to have double standards. There's no way it would be fair to hold any one else to the standards to which I hold my self.
The only thing I find truly offensive is wilful ignorance; refusing to educate and improve onesellf goes against everything that makes us human.
When people refuse to take the time to remove mold seams in visible locations, or learn how to communicate effectively on message boards, that's annoying. When the same people defend these actions by claiming that those who ask them to open their minds to education and improvement are being overly demanding, unreasonable or just plain mean, that's truly offensive behavior.
Either way, I just have to shake my head and walk away. If someone doesn't want to improve themselves and grow, it's not my problem.
I'll be back to restate my opinion in a few months when the "Basic Skills" and "Plain English" topics are reintroduced.
Until then, thanks for putting up with my rant... again.
