Could esmi have been 'nicer'? Sure. But the replies from MFLesser (I don't know if you can see the 10 ones that have been deleted already) are overboard. In fact, that FIRST post was incredibly polite, helpful and suggestive. NO ONE called her 'stupid' but she insisted on claiming it.

"And some people have blamed me and insinuated my stupidity."

Nope. We didn't. AND MFLesser has a 'solution' to save her posts before uploading. After posting that 'fix', delaine commented, and esmi, rightly, said 'This is 9 months old, you're on a different version, lets have a new post.' We ALL do that. The posts are old, the WP versions out of date, the plugins different... You get the idea. The problems aren't the same for most people. And that's what brought the crazy.

Sure, esmi could have been nicer, but MFLesser could have too. Being a volunteer doesn't mean you're forced to let people kick you. There are limits.
