Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

You're not missing much. I just posted a screen shot of what I believe to be a registration form. It has 3 textboxes but no labels so you don't know what to type into them.

And I mean the idiot downvoting my rant after spending some time in QA...
I abused who? What? The QA? CP as whole?
You may noticed that I'm part of both...For good and bad!!!

If you have an issue with something/someone in QA, why not bring it up ... with specifics ... on Suggs&Bugs or Spam/Abuse forums ?
Why come here to scream ... in generalities ... at everyone ?
By the way, I reported this Lounge post of yours as 'Abuse,' and ... being perceived as an idiot ... well that's something I'm right at home with because I so often perceive myself that way ... of course, I do take comfort that I share something with Socrates in that regard (referring, of course, to his self-defense in his trial).
cheers, Bill

Just to make it clear (an even with my english it should be so), I did not scream at everyone (or someone), but screamed. The purpose of course is to relieve the mental pain after reading (answering or commenting) a few QA issues...
Nothing more but nothing less...
To report as abuse (and you may not alone there) my second post - fair enough. I addressed someone an idiot purposefully...
But the first post? In what way that was abusive exactly?

By the way, Socrates called himself a 'gadfly' and not an 'idiot' I think...

Shalom Kornfield,
If you need to scream at no-one, why not go nowhere  , or to the SoapBox ? But, better yet, deal with the real issue (whatever that is) by using the appropriate CP forum.
The interpretation of Socrates' words (as reported by Plato) from the Greek is held by some scholars not to be a direct reference to "gadfly," but: "in the Greek text of his defense given by Plato, Socrates never actually uses that term (viz., “gadfly” [Grk., oistros]) to describe himself. Rather, his reference is merely allusive, as he (literally) says only that he has attached himself to the City (proskeimenon tē polei) in order to sting it" [^].
To my humble knowledge Socrates never refers to himself as an idiot; what I refer to, by liberally using that word, is the part of the trial where Socrates, accused of considering himself superior in wisdom to all other Athenians, makes the wonderful response that what he has learned by using his elenchic methods of dialog with the other Athenians considered the most intelligent is that he is superior in the sense that he is more aware of his own ignorance than anyone else.
cheers, Bill

Surely you can't be serious. 
I think it would be more fair, although I won't do it, to mark yours as abuse for marking his as abuse.

And you know how that ended, don't you?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You'll notice one of my tag-lines, from Clever Albert, himself.
It explains ever so clearly what happened, what will happen, and what will always happen.
Compost for brains also seems to fill the bill.

I'm amazed that people have any reaction at all to someone 'downvoting' them.
Who gives a flyin rip?? So the @$^&@ what?? Are your feeling hurt?? Maybe grow a pair and grow up.

I'm not hurt. I'm only curious - almost die of it - to know the reasons...I do look for the reasons of (almost) everything around me, this one included...
