Re: I once got a 30 day ban from SO for calling someone a tard
I left SO when it was flooded by people who believe it is a replacement for manuals, tutorials and the online help system. Being a beginner is OK, being someone too lazy to look for easy to find info is not.
Being polite with them is useless. They won't in exchange, and they are usually the selfish arrogant type, and if you allow them, they will soon become the majority...
Some people listen and you can easily discuss issues with. Other won't, and you can only enforce things the hard way. When you're in charge, and issues are your responsibility externally, you can't always be polite - unless you like to take the blame (and whatever comes with it) for someone's else known mistakes - as Seneca said, "errare humanum est, perserverare diabolicum"
