I don't think this is true at all. Unless you refer to my responses to
people pointing out perceived "problems" with me (rather than with my
code).

Well, sure, they started criticizing you for your [alleged] lack of
cooperation (even before your problem was declared solved
by you). While that was indeed personal criticism, this
didn't at that point justify snazzy responses and swear words.

Nor did I react that way until some people had done much worse, and
then only to those people (Joe Attardi is currently the #1 villain in
that regard).

Even now, while you're surely *not* the only one throwing
insults, you're still the only one using direct swear words.

I'm pissed off, that's why! I want these morons to shut the hell up!
They haven't been saying anything either a) on-topic, b) pleasant, or
c) original for days now -- just repeating themselves over and over
again as if somehow that will make their fantasies magically become
true! And I can't just ignore it because whoever else is reading the
spew coming out of their keyboards might start to believe them --
repetition is a well-known propaganda technique, as these faceless
attackers of mine evidently know well. So I'm forced to wade through
their crap trying to rebut it to counteract its propaganda effects day
after day, for a week or so now, which as you might guess is
FRUSTRATING!

The point where the topic actually went off-track was your
claim that your were "forced" to answer all articles.

See above -- if an article contains bogus accusations or allegations
that might poison the minds of third parties until they come to be
prejudiced against me, it's incumbent on me to avoid just sitting back
and doing nothing about it. I've had damaging rumors spread online
about me before and I know from personal experience that they can
result in serious repercussions, so you can't possibly expect me to be
blase about this or to just ignore it and hope it goes away.
