Short version: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Just imagine Cherry Bomb having a problem with his books, and having the tables turned on him. "You idiot, didn't I tell you not to put accruals on line 2?"

Personally, sure, I've had bad days like everyone else (No, none of them are written up in the monastery. :-p) The question I've asked myself after an episode like that was, "Why did I spend so much energy belittling the questioner?" It would have been easier to give a simple answer or just ignore the question altogether.

BTW, I don't think "honesty" is the right word for this kind of behavior. It's just an excuse for cruel speech.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
