I know better what I "possibly can" than you do, so I'll take this with
a grain of salt.

People (myself included) have tried to explain to you what you've done
that triggered what you refer to as all hell breaking loose.

Yes, I know. I reject all those insulting claims. I did nothing wrong.
All hell broke loose because apparently that day was "pick on the
newbies day" and nobody had bothered to inform me so I could just defer
posting my original question for 24 hours. Or something like that. But
there is nothing a reasonable person could fault about my first few
postings here (and none of the rest matter, since by then it had
*already happened*).

Unfortunately, you interpret them as accusations, and then try to justify
your actions, as if whether or not the actions were justified would have any
effect on whether those actions triggered hell breaking loose or not.

No, you misunderstand once again. Because my actions were not in any
way blameworthy, all hell *shouldn't* have broken loose. That it did
anyway is not my fault then.

You seem to think that my goal here is to avoid that ever happening
again, even if it means I have to accept unreasonable restraints on my
behavior to avoid triggering people that are overly sensitive, stupid,
just plain rude, or whatever. It should suffice for me to a) do a bit
of research first (check, w.r.t. the original question at the very
start of this thread) and b) not throw any first punches (check). If it
doesn't that is Not My Problem(tm) and the people who attack me for no
justified reason can go to hell for all I care.
