So I did.</span></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif">This thread started with a compliment. From someone</font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif">named Bernie.

One of the</font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif">embittered programmers posted a demeaning message. So</font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif">I responded.

Another demeaning message.</font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Courier New, sans-serif">So I responded again.
