Suggestion for correcting the IDE's script editor AND Endless ranting and rude insults AND other points

[Dennis Brown]

Thomas,

Please turn your sensitivity knob down two notches and stop stirring  
up the pot.  My comments were not meant to insult or be rude to  
anyone, and in rereading them, I can't see that they are, but you  
have labeled them so.  You are actually inciting more discussion and  
rudeness than you are preventing.  I am only trying to provide  
helpful suggestions for how to separate one generic type of  
discussion from another for the benefit of the people who come to  
this list to get the very helpful and appreciated advice of the "old  
hands".  Dwelling on an individuals opinion and reading into it  
something that may or may not have been intended as disrespectful has  
promoted more controversy than it warrants.  My delete key has been  
overly active on this thread already --I like to keep the most  
helpful messages for future reference in my mail folder after I have  
filtered out the irrelevant ones to improve future searches.

Extraneous BZ improvement suggestions that are not well thought out,  
or could be handled in some other reasonable way are a waste of  
RunRev's limited resources to sort through and make responses.   
Intelligent discussion in a list with interested users is a useful  
way of making the best suggestions.

As I said, I think it is reasonable for the high end "Professional"  
license purchasers to discuss improvements in their own exclusive  
thread, and having a thread for that, are less inclined to bring that  
thread into this thread.  Just a statement of fact, but using less  
words, because of my slow typing skills.

Don't feel you have to reply to opinion portion of this message, I am  
content to leave it at that.
