Too bad many messages of this member were removed due to abuse reports. I finally reported against this person, but only after thorough reading the surviving messages, because I would be afraid of making a mistake and support wrong side. I could expect that abrasive satirical notes by Paulo Zemec could cause some natural irritated reaction, expressed in correct and factual form. No, it wasn't. It was the usual fallacy of giving personal characteristics, completely baseless, rude and incorrect; we already have too much of it. I already tied to make a point: there is a delicate watershed between criticism, unpleasant but based on facts and personal accusation. Criticism itself is one of the driving force of progress. In my conclusion, Paulo did not cross the line, but Ron Jardine apparently did; it went so far to suggest something I would call "ethnism", by the analogy with "racism", "sexism" and other similar "isms"; that is seen from the "accusation" in being a "temporary foreign worker".

Anyway, thank you for writing this abuse report. After all, it involved me in interesting discussion on the topic of the article itself. Smile | :)

I would only note: I already faced a number of similar vendetta-style comments, and even worse (using bad words, more explicit offending expressions, etc.); and I think we are going loose the reputation of this site if we tolerate them. Often, reporting in this forum does not lead to account cancellation.

[EDIT]

If you look at the new comments to this article, you might share my hope that the situation tends to normalize. Reasonable, weighted and calm arguments can always help.
