Hard to ignore the undertone here ;). White and black lists are imperfect, so be careful! However "likely you are one" + "yet you refuse to" is an accusation. > again STFU Pff! Somebody who is frustrated kicks partly over the traces and you guess that it helps anybody in the universe to be spiteful? It might not be an excuse, but at least it's a good explanation why the OP kicks over the traces, since the OP is frustrated that something doesn't work.
