Well I apologize for my language (I wanted to do it before but was like 
what the hell ;-). Sorry).

As well you know cynically breaking down other people's posts, as is 
very common in Linux,

is not just disagreement, it is usually meant to shut people up.

So poor manners are actually extremely common, but taken as nonoffensive 
while I find it usually to be extremely offensive.

But I apologize for my language.

It seems like a bad thing to enforce on people.

My network doesn't have a domain other than .local.

I am currently not even connected to the internet.

Public domains can also change, but I'll stop talking.
