Relating to some of the recent posts (though not GiftofLove's, as he seems to have the hang of it already):
Mike has a temper, or rather (since everyone has a temper, if you push them far enough), a temper that's worse than average.? He knows this, I know this, and you know this.? He does not react at all well to insults.? Again, we all know this.? He's getting better, but still needs to improve, and has been trying to.
Therefore, when attempting to give Mike constructive criticism, please phrase it in as non-insulting a manner as possible (you don't need to be obsequious, or even all that nice, just don't be rude), so that he can read what you have to say, and think clearly about it - also so that he and the rest of us can tell that your criticism is intended to be constructive, instead of destructive.
