Steven, nobody is saying be a robot and never say another word. What I (and, it seems, other people as well) are merely pointing out to you---since you asked---is that IF you aim to treat this as a job, a business and a living, you have to be mindful of how you come across. And if you come across in your message board posts as hostile, defensive and argumentative, people will read that and say to themselves 'well, I don't want to spend 300 pages with THAT guy!'
Look, we all have to play ball sometimes, in every job, in every career, in every business. It doesn't mean that you can never have an opinion. It just means that you have to be aware of how you come across, and sometimes you may have to choose to stay out of the fray on something.
