I have no objection to the purpose or the good intention behind the post and I don't believe either I or the poster I quoted said anything about punishing @curie. My issue is that barging into a room with a gun drawn as you announce your message is guaranteed to put the people in it on the defensive, and the message inevitably comes off as a demand rather than the intended "encouragement". I wouldn't have even minded having my name tagged if it wasn't in a post declaring "I'm calling you lot out". That's unnecessarily aggressive wording for a "first offense" type post and so my initial reaction was "WTF is this?" rather than "oh wow I'm so glad he brought this up."

With all that said, next time I get on the computer I'll happily look into helping @curie out, because I'm not the type to hold grudges. I'm simply pointing out that a more diplomatic approach may be a better idea to avoid alienating folks. Save the guns for later rather than leading off with them, you know?

@abh12345 does get props from me for taking the assorted feedback gracefully 😉 I'm impressed.
