iBleet,

I didnt call anyone a dummy..

Have you not ever heard of the 'XXX for dummies' line of books?
I doubt the writer of those books intended to call everyone who was ignorant of a topic a dummy.

A flame is a personal attack against someone, I was merely defining what I believe we should or should not be doing with regards to the emu.

A never made a personal reference directly against you, or anyone else for that matter. I did not put names, I did not call anyone stupid, or a loser, or any of those things.

I never beat anyone for their lack of knowledge. Should I have instead just replied with RTFM ? I dont think that would have been very considerate.. I replied with my point of view..

I think possibly you misread my use of the pronoun 'you' with meaning you personally. If that is the case, that is not how it was intended. 'You' was a reference to the general catagory of people who typically show up asking the same questions over and over again.

Also, I would surmise that some people who know their way around a computer do not like being called 'computer geeks'. We could always make the assumption that your post was a flame in the first place.
