It bothers me to see people driven away. Yeah, he had some ambiguities in his post but they didn't detract from the question. and, frankly, he was a bit thin skinned. In the scheme of things, this was a most mild example of the abuse that can often get heaped on people by more than a few that are around here. There is entriely too much gratuitious abuse. It's pretty amazing to see some one say something slightly wrong and get a "Hello? did you get dropped on your head???" or similar. Hell, it doesn't even take an error, it's often just opinion. Also, frequently one abusive post leads to a piling-on. Like we were scrimming or something. Some people appear to be on a jihad of rudeness. It really doesn't take that much to be civil.

You wouldn't be making reference to my recent rude, dispicable, in poor taste, tactless, demeaning, defamatory, flamming, unwarranted, blazen, abrasive, cynical, sarcastic, needless, snotty, disrespectful comment made to you in another thread?
It might not take that much to be civil, but it takes a great deal to understand and tolerate some of the brainless requests put forth in these forums.
