"   "Always" and "Never" Statements - "Always" and "Never" Statements are
   declarations containing the words "always" or "never". They are
   commonly used but rarely true.
"

See above...  And as far as I can see in this thread, there *is* a pattern
of that by Stefano; should that be interpreted as verbal abuse?

"   Targeted Humor, Mocking and Sarcasm - Targeted Humor is any sustained
   pattern of joking, sarcasm or mockery which is designed to reduce
   another individual's reputation in their own eyes or in the eyes of
   others.
"

s/individual's reputation/appeal of a bad idea being proposed/ and you'll
get something that is not only justified, but highly valuable.
