Go easy there, eh? Maybe also edit that?

There are all types of persons on the LQ site, different genders, races, religions, and etc.

We actually had a hockey commentator resign because he said one quick phrase about women that was inappropriate. You've gone much farther than Mike Milbury.

Already told you I've used MPLAB from uChip and I'll add that I also have used the Modus Toolbox for Cypress in a Linux environment. They work, and I will grant that they work as similarly between Windows, MAC, and Linux. If their tools are not something you prefer that's one thing, but all I got is that they work.

Oh Gawd! Has Political Correctness now invaded even THESE sacred hallows? Is NOWHERE safe?

Humour, other than bland stupidities, is now ILLEGAL!

You treat your wife as a thing? She probably divorced you already; it's probably the reason you're so mysoginist, not able to see the beam in your own eye.
It's this sort of crap that makes the internet prejudiced against nerds.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with henderson here.

The attitude that "it's just a joke" goes very much too far, and you've not just make one quick tongue in cheek that hinted at something, you literally equated buying electronics to buying a wife and then discussed it further by implying that there was additional, not ideal, things acquired as part of that purchase.

Dismissing it as a joke is one thing, but defending it and addressing back that people have gone too far with political correctness is basically saying that you do not give a care that you wrote something nasty.

When someone can't say, "Yeah, sorry. Excuse my joke", and fix it, that's not good.
