I have very few obsessions (and none of them deal with race, religion, or national origins), and pretty much all of my "bigoted statements" are based on nationality and/or religion, and most of those are meant in sarcasm/jest. If you don't have anything resembling a sense of humor, that's your own mental deficiency, and I think you should probably seek professional help. Further, if you carry this puerile attitude with you as you review and vote on my articles, that's just plain wrong. My articles have nothing at all to do with my politics or sense of humor, and neither should your voting be swayed by such considerations. Instead, you should consider the technical merit, the quality of the explanatory text, and the appropriateness of the subject matter. As far as race is concerned, I don't have problems with anybody that wants to be a self-reliant, responsible, and productive member of society - it's the lazy, self-pitying as*holes that feel the rest of society owes them something that piss me off - regardless of their skin color. So go ahead and label me any way you like, but in my view that's a very narrow-minded attitude to hold onto, and you're that much less of a person in my eyes as a result. I'm sure that doesn't bother you since you feel you're better than I am... Now, I really have no idea what I did or said to piss you off, but even if I did, I probably wouldn't apologize. You can ask Nish about that.

Why me? Everyone here knows you never apologize to anyone about anything! :rolleyes:

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkWell, I singled you out because I landed on you pretty hard when you first came here. And you're right, I never apologize. I may periodically make adjustments in my statements, but that should never be taken to mean that I'm sorry. We don't see eye to eye on a few things, but I wouldn't label our interactions here contentious, or even strained.

Nor would I :-)

Yeah it take a lot of courage and guts to apologize - not many men have that ;P

Simmons' injuries are self-inflicted... and to follow on your analogy, Simmons would've also been stripped of medals won on any sport because of his many bigotted comments. This is a technical site.
I disagree. This is a technical community. Technical sites don't have Lounges, leckeys, or hamsters.

Platinum membership is a pretty exclusive group though. I think Gold should be a lot more exclusive than it is, but it seems few if any other members agree with that view. I definitely disagree with the number of posts being a consideration in user status.

The problem was in ProcessArticle - this line was crashing (exception message said - "input string was not in a proper format") :-
//article.LatestRating = Convert.ToDecimal(rating);I commented it out and replaced it with this hack-fix :-article.LatestRating = Convert.ToDecimal(rating.Replace("/5", ""));But I am sure the proper fix needs to be done elsewhere.Regards, Nish

Actually, I think Chris added the "/5" to the string I was parsing. I did mention that the code in the article was subject to the whims of the site admin. Chris has promised a CodeProject API to replace my work-around, but the delivery time frame has not yet been established.

You should go directly to the hamster chief. I'm sure there's a backdoor.
