I view this entire thread as a masturbatory word argument that was fully answered and explored in the first couple posts, and I let the pattern of votes upset me. Sorry.
My best guess would be that you said, "How am I dressed improperly?" I would also guess that if you had changed the question to something more specific like, "What, my shirt?" then you would have received a more specific answer instead of repeating yourself so many times.
It's quite possible that more specific questions would have led to a faster answer. My failure of imagination was that I couldn't believe he didn't have a clear set of rules in mind.
