:: By the way, the "stress" that you said that I have been enduring is not from the Calmosoft user, but the characterizations (by others) of his actions and the summarily actions taking ''against'' that user and some of his draft tasks, especially with the lack of communication to/from that said user. Maybe he has other time or health issues, or whatever. I know I was out-of-pocket more than once (away from Rosetta Code) for various reasons and/or for lengthy time periods. Or maybe some other kind of communication breakdown or difficulty is the culprit. But who knows what's happening "over there" at the other end. I know for certain that -I- don't know. I'm not that quick to judge when there isn't two-way communications. I was on that same side of that fence once myself, so I guess I sympathize more with guy being hanged then most people. This is why I was helping out with those draft tasks and added verbiage to Calmosoft's draft tasks (as well as others, here and there). Once Calmosoft saw how to include URL's and my somewhat more verbose way of asking for task requirements, he was adding the "extra" stuff (wording) on his own. A little bit of help here and there (and there and here) goes a long way instead of beating the poor guy over the head with a large stick. I believe that is (or should be) one of the core beliefs at Rosetta Code. Treat others like you'd like to be treated yourself. Sorry to quote Biblical. But sometimes, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. (Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when maybe you were that inexperienced --- I know I certainly was. --- It was Michael Mol who helped me out (there were a lot of arrows stuck in my back at the time, but I didn't know it as "they" were leaving messages on "my" talk page which I never knew that there was such a thing), without Mol's kindness and time spent, I wouldn't go on to enter over a thousand examples). Ha! I hope that that experience won't stop Mol from helping others out. Meanwhile, back at the ranch ... the earth's horizon keeps lowering and I must get some sleep. <big> <br>So, the beatings shall continue until moral improves! </big> -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 12:59, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
:::Gerard, you seem to be ignoring the lack of communication, and repeated posting of problem posts by CalmoSoft over many months. This seems to have culminated in a posting of several problem posts in a very short time, with little to no interaction with people querying them. I think it is reasonable for first authors to stick around and answer queries on draft posts - it seems that that is not forthcoming from CalmoSoft, and his tasks ''are'' questioned.
::: Check CalmoSofts talk page, people have attempted to converse with him there, and on the tasks he starts, before. The lack of work CalmoSoft puts into them is wearying to others.
::: Gerard, you seem to state that CalmoSofts circumstances may not allow him to do better, but surely his ability to start tasks is enough ability to defend or improve them in comments over the ''years'' in which that dialogue would have been welcomed?
