Barney; I don't think any of us were raised in a convent (certainly not me for a number of reasons). Strong language doesn't offend me nor do strong opinions. But you refuse to differentiate between the manner of communications and the subject. If someone says "Architect A's work s__ks", that comment, while not very informative, is on point. If he says "it s__ks because" and then gives some reasons, we can have a discussion. But if he says "Architect A is an a__hole", he adds nothing to the discussion and he is just plain rude. That trait is unrelated to intelligence or the ability to articulate. I have known any number of people who would not have done very well in a debating society but who were as polite and kind as anyone I have known. Like all of us, I hve met many bright well spoken people who have little or no respect for others. Thus this is not a discussion about intelligence or facility with the written word; it is about common courtesy and the respect for a professionals personal reputation.
