In defence of Reindl, I don't see anything wrong with emphasizing words.
This particular posting did not strike me as "violent and aggressive",
and I didn't see any profanity in it, let alone "excessive profanity".
Reindl is certainly fairly acerbic, but I have found his postings
very helpful on several occasions, and am perfectly happy
to put up with a certain sharpness in return.
