I know, people dropped this a few times. There is something that doesn't seem to be clear.
This has been going on for 20 years. I have had to deal with crap reaching up to the level of persistent, intentional abuse. At some point, you completely ruin a person for *no* reason.
There is a reason why human rights state that nobody has to suffer unjustified false accusations and persecution. Time and time again, I challenge them but get no response. No amount of "playing nice" or "self-censorship" solves this.
I do am willing to use less rude words if there is a remote possibility that those are being respected, but that hasn't been the case for the last 10 or so years of abusive assholes.
And about the "lost opportunity". Let me be extremely clear about this: for the last 20 years people have done a lot to fuck up any attempt to accomplish something. If I scare off 80% of people and 75% are abusive assholes, then that's an enormous win.
