You should present your views in a clear, concise manner and backed up with verifiable facts. Also, IMHO, posting with careless typos and use of SMS style abbreviations will also lead some to dismiss your posts as sloppy and ill conceived. It is not a stretch to come to a conclusion that sloppy posts=sloppy workmanship. The attitude of "I speak my mind and don't care what people think about me" is exactly why your rants can be dismissed out of hand by some. FWIW, I've signed many an NDA in my life time and it is not so hard to present facts about a situation without violating the spirit of the NDA.
