To CallingYouOut, while I tend to believe that people should be nicer (not "blow rainbows up people's asses" nice, but classy) on this site, you should read the first chapter of Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People." By criticizing anybody you can only hope to make them so defensive that they will fail to see where they erred. It truly only makes people MORE likely to repeat bad behavior. Such, unfortunately, is human nature. I know when I am criticized, especially directly, I will think up wild reasons why my heinous behavior was acceptable and therefore not even think twice to repeat the behavior.
ETA: Of course this post might be seen as criticizing you which makes me a hypocrite of the highest degree. Don't look at it that way, but more as someone who agrees with your (general) point of view (this particular thread is kind of "whatever" for me) but thinks your approach could be reworked to be more effective.
