Please can people start behaving with some respect

This relates to the infuriating sine wave thread too.

This is a COMMUNITY and therefore contains people with all different
opinions and different values. It's childish and offensive to assume
that your idea of what is "crappy" is shared by everyone, just as
your ideas of what is useful or not are universal. Different people
are even free to use different tools to do the same job, and this
should be respected.

It is often helpful to hear people's opinions, but it is not helpful
to hear people's opinions about things which they have little
objective knowledge or experience. Making claims about what other
people do or want, or how many people do this or don't like that etc
should only be done when evidence is available. It's crazy to be, on
the one hand, trying to have a technical discussion, and on the
other, to have to filter such a discussion to remove emotive and
unverifiable statements about personal preferences, prejudice, and
dogma.

This community is, or should be, a valuable knowledge base, as well
as being a useful resource for Dieter and other manufacturers, DIYers
and synthesists, but, in my opinion, this value is being seriously
diluted/damaged by the attitudes and comments of a small number of
individuals on this list.

I'm not advocating banning people - everyone's views are valid and I
would prefer to include everyone - but it would be wonderful if
people would take a bit of social responsibility and leave out all
the petty, personal, evangelical, childish, comments. People are
welcome here, those kind of comments are not.

How about a poll for that
