Aye,
Mithadan I would say it is.
Snappy, truthfully they aren't (and you can take that at face value).
I've said what I've needed to say, how I felt the thing was handled is way back there. So, to conclude and I'll try to resist from coming back to this thread (though I don't know if I can resist the urge)...here's just some stuff I think is necessary so no one gets the wrong sort of impression.
If someone felt like
davem was over board, whether I agreed, or he agreed with them or not isn't the question. Obviously, if you have to be warned to tone it down, I can come to understand you do need to tone it down. Even if you did not intend to sound rude or insulting, somebody felt like you were, so please next time do tone it down.
I am grateful to the mods for their information, and more grateful they have brought this out to 'chat.' I don't know of any forums that is required to do such a thing, nor necessarily even do such a thing. I'm glad they felt like we deserved an explanation.
But, to be my blunt self, everything else I feel is said back in those several posts, I just wanted to clarify things so no one gets the wrong impression (doesn't mean I still don't stand by what I've said about the situation or how it was handled). Oh, and I happen to think
Form gets straight to the point much better than I ever could have.
