Wouter, that last reply was just so typical of some one not thinking things through and instead just writing down the first impulse that comes into their head.

True engineers find it hard to write down in a social / political manner, we tend to think things in whether it is simply correct or incorrect. Unfortunately to most people that comes across as being blunt and impolite.

If you are going to try and play the social / political banter bit then you are going to have to sharpen those skills, part of that is to think things in the long term plan, rather than just whether it correct or not.

We all would think a lot more of you if you could at least attempt a bit of communications skill sharpening.
