Whoever rated you probably objected more to
the tone of voice in:  "you would never get a job", "did you ever take
a programming class".
I pretty much suspected as much, though those snippets are taken out of context. The tone behind the programming class question was borne out of incredulity at the actual code and the apparent fact that this type of programming is actually accepted at their place of work rather than asking a question intended to belittle or insult. There was actually no tone implied or present in my final statement. I was making a factual statement and, unfortunately, the truth is sometimes difficult to state in "nice" terms. The harsh reality is that if this person were to lose their job due to a layoff or company closure and thus need to find another one and they presented this as an example of their coding style and experience they would likely find themselves with a problem. It's the truth. It's undeniable, and sometimes you need to say it as bluntly as you can so the message gets through in the hopes they seriously consider to improve their skillset and approach. My European background isn't much for political correctness which helps
me to be necessarily blunt in situations like this. It also means that
if I really wanted to insult someone they'd know I was doing it without
having a single doubt in their mind. :smileywink:I'm actually more miffed at someone hiding behind an anonymous rating
system like we have on this board than getting the one-star. My take:
If you don't have the courage to justify your rating, don't give one. I should also point out that I did not rate Hosehead's post.
