You must be a student. You choose to avenge a scolding, instead of choosing to
learn from it. That is a sign of inexperience in life.

While everyone is entitled to an opinion, it is an unfortunate fact that some
people's opinions are crap, and some people's aren't. David happens to be in
the class of people who's opinions are not crap.

You posted an ambiguous question and got called on it. It is unfortunate that
you decided to take affront to that, but the decision was yours to make.
However, Joe, you've only been on this list for six weeks. You need to observe
a bit more before deciding who is worth blocking and who is not.
