Today [14.2¾]

I have started posting at Ten Forums by expanding the amount of time I spend in Forums daily. I have noticed there the same thing I noticed when I made a brief attempt to post in 8F in its early days: a level of incivility that we never see at 7F. I will no longer post in discussion threads because repeatedly I am attacked just for expressing long-established information or a passionate opinion. Here I tried to share information that 4gb RAM is addressed in 32 bit when you include hardware:

That is almost entirely wrong. I'm not sure what you're an MVP in, but I certainly doubt it's Windows. 32 bit Desktop Windows does not support PAE, and therefore cannot access more than 4GB of memory (32 bit server versions can access more than 4GB).

David who is from the civilized forums was so appalled he tried to tell the guy I never said it can address more than 4gb RAM, then had his head snapped off.

I will not stoop to any further discussions with this snarling mob apparently from the failed OS forums. But I will continue to help at 10F and if any of this pollutes the help threads I will report them and either it will stop or I will go.

It's hard to ignore it when it starts stinkin up the place so bad. You want to open a window.

It must have been allowed at 8F because of the passionate discussion about Windows 8, which I admit I stepped in yesterday and fell into their trap. As soon as it gets nasty it needs to be stopped so that it doesn't sully the Forum's reputation and leak into the Help threads. It will also chase away real talent who don't have the stomach for unchecked web rabble in a top flight tech forums.

Thanks for the kind words. I do wonder if my skin has gotten thinner with the protective shield we enjoy here.

Thanks Keith for the concern. :) Today I'll go walk down the mountain and across this valley about 10 miles to the gym to work it off. I'll be a different person when I get back.
