I strongly advise you, again!, to stick with SSCCEs until you stop
making that kind of mistake. That you have not learned your lesson
about posting uncompilable code is starting to make you look careless
and lazy.

Honestly, I think you're being just a little too rigid now.
You aren't being "rigid" enough.
I was trying to get across the idea that, at first glance, Map<String,
Locale> sorted Locales = new SortedMap<String, Locale>() might be
something I would CONSIDER writing to address the suggestion that was
You should never "CONSIDER" writing 'new SomeInterface()'.
I know (now) that the statement in question wouldn't actually compile or
make sense and I didn't actually try to compile it anywhere. It was

strictly a hypothetical and I truly think it is reasonable to toss out a

This only hurts yourself. It's not a question of anyone else's opinion but of
how you can best serve yourself in your attempt to progress as a developer.
You disregard the advice "at [your] own peril", all right, but it's not a
social peril, it's the peril that you'll never get any better as a software
developer.
I strongly advise you to get off your high horse about this issue.
"Penance". WTF?
