For some reason you seem to have great trouble with plain-speaking people, but if you want to call a 'spade' a name that would cover three sentences just to be politically correct, well that's up to you.
Most folks don't have any problem with "plain speaking people." Problems arise when "attitude" enters the discourse and "supremacy" becomes the modus operandi. There are some "forum personalities" who delight in dishing it out but are very thin skinned when on the receiving end... It does help tremendously to maintain a good sense of humor - much of the banter is truly in ostensibly good natured posturing. Making fun can often seem like abusive criticism. Some find it very difficult to reserve "judgment" on any matter until the unbiased scientific investigation has been completed. The "my knowledge is better than your knowledge" card is played far too often. Riding the "High Horse" is really quite satisfying. Too bad that many "forum people" eschew high places. Cultural differences...

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
