And I do believe TfH broke the basics of the netiquette:
Quote:
If you do decide to inform someone of a mistake, point it out politely, and preferably by private email rather than in public. Give people the benefit of the doubt; assume they just don't know any better. And never be arrogant or self-righteous about it (hello EoF). Just as it's a law of nature that spelling flames always contain spelling errors, notes pointing out Netiquette violations are often examples of poor Netiquette.[/b]
Got to love the last part.

Ah, but did I ever claim that I follow Netiquette? Did I ever enforce it (even though that would be a good idea)?
I didn't, so why throw it at me?

Other than that, "arrogant, self-righteous bastard who doesn't give the benefit of doubt beyond the first warning shot" sums me up just about right.
