You could have just cut to the chase and directed this at me, I know you wanted to.
Not just you, there are lot's of people I've seen this from.

Are you or is anyone else going to add a question to the FAQ "Why shouldn't you spec ret?" Hmm? I haven't seen a single person write a guide saying something to that effect, and I am pretty dang well sure no one will have the gumption to actually put it in the legit guides.
1.1.7 and 2.1.3 in the FAQ. I don't go over all the details, but I do mention Retributions lack of dps and contributions at end-game.

I will tell a guy who is brand new and wondering about the class the stark and unarguable truth that end game, Paladin is the worst Melee dps class in the game. If he truly wishes to DPS then he would do himself a favour to look at a rogue or even a Warrior first.
If a Ret who playing with undergeared, poorly specced players in the earliest steps of end game wishes to make a claim of Ret dps leetness I will more than happily point out a world of knowledge, both personal and beyond, that shows exactly how Ret is an unviable raiding class.
Play what you play and enjoy it. But when people ask for information, or provide information that comes from a very clear ignorance of the game then I will always be hear to do what I do. As the sig says, I often don't do it nicely.

Bodh, I fully understand that. Like I said, if someone wants to make claims or is asking about Ret-viability DPS, go ahead and rip him a new one. But I just don't think it's necessary when they are asking for help.
Anyway, this whole thread is reminding me of an intervention. People coming out talking about how they've been abused and others just brushing it off "it's only a joke, we don't mean it"
but the bruises are there.... the bruises are there
It's just a problem that I've been noticing and I just wanted to address it. It may shoot down my popularity a bit, I wasn't trying to point fingers at anyone in particular. I'm pretty sure I've done it a few times too, it's just some of the posts like the one Maul put up and the one raisen put up that made me start thinking.
