Yesterday was a sady day: I finally had to conclude that it was only

You were the first one to inject abuse into this thread. There's a big
difference between a mildly sarcastic link and dropping the F-word at one
of the more helpful and respected members of the community. Perhaps you
are projecting your own hostility and aggro onto others?
John's thought process is a slippery slope and I make the same 'mistake'
(notice the quotes please :-)) so often it would seem I won't learn it
ever. However on the rare occasion I notice that I am making the mistake
I say to myself: The view of a number of individuals do NOT necessarily
represent the view of the majority unless proven otherwise by that
actual majority.
