Thank you hendrik for your interpretation. Actually, my rant does not
want to change anybody or save any soul, and has to be taken
literally. I just wanted to make it clear that, in my humble opinion,
top-posting is a sign of indifference and selfishness, or at least it
sounds like that to me.

Then, you can interpret my personal opinion as you like, but you would
admit that a certain leap of imagination is required to go from a
personal opinion (admittedly expressed in a direct way) to a "bullying
tactics to psicologically manipulate those who see an issue
differently"...
