I have not read recent exchanges in some threads that prompt this new
topic, but noticed a few words. However, generally, what Joyce raises
here, inconvenient ad hominem poor choice of words, in the nature of
attack, is not nearly so offensive as the following. (1) Rudeness
involving preoccupation with one's own portfolio to the near-exclusion of
the other 3000 CVs on this page, and 2000 CVs in Pritchard 'ECV', and
other sources (2) Refusal to refrain from publishing, article or
Rules-set or Preset, when it is found there is considerable similarity to
pre-existing work (3) Assumption that we all adhere to
''prolificism,'' to tolerate that failure just to acknowledge prior art someone's own closely duplicates, even when it is clearly called to
attention. So, discourtesy comes in many forms, and greater indiscretions
are substantive.
