I've found that it's usually 'corporate' people who think like this. They think everything should be handed to them. How did things turn out? I’ve had similar experiences with other people.

They went something like this: "For the other side of the story, click here." ("here" being a link to this post) I suppose some people might take links to opposing views as "attacks". I see she's disabled comments on her blog. Good for her; I vastly prefer people to be upfront about not tolerating dialogue.

That just makes all of us look like an angry lynch-mob, and we don't want that. Guys, just because this lady is clueless doesn’t mean that we should speak menacingly or threateningly towards her.

Personally, I think that someone should hit that woman upside the head with a Louisville Slugger. Where else in world are you going to get so many great tools for free. I you have a problem, pay for support. Otherwise, just smile, say thanks and find something else that works for you.
