Os: You shouldn't be so negative to those good-meaning bees.
Just because you happen to be a good chemist is no reason to
speak badly about other clandestine chemists, who have more limited
resources (in terms of glassware, chemicals, and intellect). After all,
these guys do all the best they can, and isn't that what it's all about?
Plus, every idea, how stupid it may be, might be helpful to other bees.
There's no need to downplay other helpful bees, especially since they are
so willing to invest so much of their copious free time in typing in al
this so-called 'nonsense'. It might be nonsense to you and me, but if even
one bee is enlightened, who are we to condemn those bees?
Plus, saying bad things about stupid ideas of other beas is considered
37143 behaviour, which is seriously frowned upon among grownups. Instead,
you should give positive, constructive comments.
Another thing I noticed in your reply is that you tend to insert a lot of
very subjective value judgements, which might be considered as personal
judgements. You should refrain from that, and instead use more neutral, or
preferably politically correct terms for that.
So, for instance, you shouldn't say
'Yes, the thought of a bunch of lazy, shortcut taking wannabee chemists
trying to clean up a off-coloured, sticky and fragrant product mixture
containing 50 components really appeals to me'
but instead you might consider replying
'Well! That is a very good idea! I have given your suggestions much thought
and did a few trials in my own lab. Of course, I wasted a lot of valuable
precursors on your unclear suggestions, but that shouldn't matter. And that
the end product contained more contaminants than the usual route followed
doesn't matter also: it is about intentions, and the users will surely
appreciate that while this product might be more unclean than the product made
earlier, it does contain more good intentions than before. So, actually, it
is a BETTER product!!. Anyway, I have to clean up the lab now; I hope to hear
from you soon.'
Note that the second reply is much longer, thus giving your opponent more
attention, and a longer time for the message to sink in. For completeness,
add some incomprehensible raving and spelling typo's to approach them more
at their intellectual level.
And now I'm off to bang the heads of a few lusers against the wall.
