This is my 11th year in PDF. I have witnessed many ups and downs here. Members in PDF come from all sorts of backgrounds. One of the notable things that many of the members have in common is nicknames or pseudonyms due to privacy reasons. Very few of us really post our resume in PDF showing what we really do or achieved in our real life, let alone our real public names. This is all good for protecting our privacy. Our primary focus is to discuss a topic keeping personal credentials out of the way.
Let us not engage in unnecessary ad hominem attacks, calling someone kids while that person could be your boss or father figure. Appeal to authority is a logical fallacy which we all should avoid. It is important to keep in mind that you do not know for sure who you are talking to. Let us focus on the statements instead of the person. This is the logical way of getting engaged in a healthy discussion. Be respectful in order to be respected. We are not here for a superiority competition which we have enough in the real life.
