No, it's not. What IS unreasonable is the "repeated flaming, name calling,
(and) improper conduct" that has marred your own writings.

George, your credentials may be impressive, your accomplishments legend --
perhaps I'm not fit to carry your weight-belt much less your tanks -- but
from the few posts of yours that I've read, you sound like a potty-mouthed
brat that should have his mouth washed out with soap.

The Internet started as a scientific cyber-journal, a means for engineers
and researchers to share their findings and air their problems. It was a
place of reasoned discourse, not vituperative rantings and vulgar insults.
Frankly, you don't serve your cause by smearing it with filth.

You want to guide us into "doing it right"?  Then write to instruct us,
not to insult us. Set an example for reasoned, intelligent TEACHING ...
rather than disputive, childish, foul-mouthed, inelegant SCREECHING.
This way your message will fall on more receptive ears.
