I generally find that Fredrik's rudeness quotient is satisfactorily 
biased towards discouraging ill-informed comment. As far as rudeness 
goes, I've found your approach to this discussion to be pretty 
obnoxious, and I'm generally know as someone with a high tolerance for 
idiotic behaviour.

If your intention was to troll you could not have crafted your 
contributions in a better way.
