I can appreciate what you're saying but in no way was Haggis Hunter being rude in this thread. It was obviously Jeremy who came out with the combative and antagonistic remarks.
There's no way that can be considered anything but rude. And as you well know, there's no need to be rude at any time. Just ask Ann Landers (well, you can't ask her anymore, but if you could, she would most likely tell Jeremy to grow up).
Well golly, maybe it's just me, but I don't "hear" the rudeness in that remark.
No, seriously, I don't.
It's too easy to infer tones in the forums. Face it, you "hear" what you want to hear. Cut people some slack...
Finally, someone else who doesn't see any hostility in Haggis's comments.
Perhaps Jeremy should cut some people some slack and realize that being rude is just not cool. Perhaps Jeremy just likes being antagonistic and looks for it wherever he can get it?
Because he doesn't "want" to hear it.
