It boils down to cultural difference. Once a colleague commented over a code-review session, "you make my skin crawl". I didn't knew what it meant, the third person who was with us, turned red-face and I could see an anger on his face. Later one he asked me if I understood what the other person said, I told him, I had no clue. He called us both to a conference room and explained it what it meant. The guy who said it, felt very bad and apologized. you see, if you don't understand one the cultural tone of some expression it does not give any meaning.
I've moved on...

I agree with you. For example, in spanish, things that are very usual and non offensive in Mexico would make many people mad in Spain, so does it in the other way. I have had many funny and / or shamely situations since I am in germany because of saying the translation to german of spanish sentences, or just using a word with similar official meaning to the correct one but completely annoying in that context. These misunderstoods can even be without words. Once I was with my brothers and a cousin in a local. When we arrived I opened the door and kept it opened to let my family go in, just behind 2 girls came and I kept the door opened for them as well. One of them said: "Thanks, but I could make it bymyself."  If she hadn't said "thanks" I would have closed the door at her nose. This is because here some women are so "independent" that a gentleman's gest can be offensive for them because they say you are undervaluating the women.
But I do agree with the other people that said about the "trolls", the worst offense for such people is just to be ignored.

Some of the articles seem to be in the wrong area. This one for example seemes better suited for the List Controls area.

I've had problems on the main page (user or password field wasn't long enough). But it worked on the following page. Try it. Even if you get an error, the next page that comes up allows you to login again. See if that works.

I tried it and didn't work but thanks thought for your suggestion 
|
|
|

What was your old username (not email or password)? I'll try and look it up on the member database and see what comes up.

BTW, if you're hoping to regain your gold status, finding/reactivating your old account may not help.

The way gold status is determined was changed a week or two ago. Merely being a member for X years is no longer enough to qualify for gold status. I believe the number of gold members we have is now fewer than 1000.

As long as you haven't forgotten your old password, you *should* be able to log on with your old account and change the email address.
If you *did* forget your old password, you're going to have to make do with your new account.
