I do not condone personal attacks or people being chastised because of their occupation. But this conversation has gone far beyond the original post and it seems the original poster has participated in the progression of this discussion going past the original post.
If the original poster did not want to receive any advice or opinions then the original poster should not have responded to the advice and opinions that were offered. When I am an original poster I try to bring other posters back to my query if I think they have wandered too far, or my query has not been answered.
Most online discussions do not stay on topic or adhere to what the original post intended. Again, I think that personal attacks or getting laughs at another person’s expense is unacceptable, but I do think it is acceptable for conversations to evolve beyond what was initially requested.
The process of a discussion determines its’ content.
