Ironically and without doubt deservedly, I have recently received notification from the Moderators concerning my comments: apparently some users have been unhappy with them . If I have offended anyone I sincerely apologize. On the other hand, I think that much of this comes from "rising to the bait" of a few trollish users, some of whom have already been suspended by the system.

In the future, I will no longer respond in comment unless I see a totally egregious post such as spam, offensive posts, etc

That said, this also means I will no longer be using comments to help new users to develop their LQ posts: ...the agro and anxieties are making this a less-than profitable and more often a contentious experience for me.

You can speak truth to power, but the courage to ask the hard question is true power.
