Speak calmly, not from frustration. Frustration only alienates people and makes them loath to follow your advice.

I prefer to speak rudely and make them just go away.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy. ~Ernest Benn
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it. ~P.J. O'Rourke

Also, this thread would probably be better off in ComBus. It is a more appropiate forum to discuss things related to things like this. People that frequent that section are more likely to be receptive to this type of thread.

I was pretty polite until you called me a squirrel. Those things are rats with a bushy tail.

Through all the growth it was a wonder you could see me. BTW, the marmots are wondering when you're going to weed the place. (Bad hay fever you see.)

Even after people told you, nicely, you're thread would be better off somewhere else...?
