Heavy handed?

What is heavy handed is the bleeding sarcasm and ad hominem crap and the passive-aggressive whining and innuendo and tear-jerking "victim" crap that clutters up a perfectly decent site.

You dweebs and headless neophytes need to get a little bit more real, here. You're taking undue advantage of someone's good will and hospitality, and it is sadly unbecoming.

It is nowhere near as smart and thoughtful and "compassionate" as you wish it were and try to make it sound. It is, to the contrary, short-sighted and dull-witted and unfeeling and unkind. If you were taking responsibility for things instead of just carping, your whole tone would be dramatically different.
