  -> You belong to the category of people itching to hit the dislike button by all means, don't you? P.S. Why don't you just stick your professional dislike-button-hitting skills, your snobbery and your self importance into the darkest place they belong to?
disagree  The Misha: Every time you post sth in a public forum, you take a chance people would disagree. If you can't take it, don't post , especially if what you post makes no sense. Pls also mind that forum rules prohibit personal attacks and foul language.

  -> I was not talking about disagreements, I was talking about a childish sport of hitting dislikes. There are lots of other places on the Web to do that. Pls also note that I dislike this exact person for some reasons.
