HearToLearn,
I really don't think my response was rude in the least. I addressed what I saw.
You addressed what you saw. The same as anyone else does when they post a comment.
When you post on a public forum, surely you realize other people have the right to respond?
Your definition of being rude and mine are obviously entirely different. If you don’t want to allow other people to chime in with their unwelcome opinions then start a blog that doesn’t have a comment section. Or set it up so the comments can’t be posted until they are approved by you.
From the position of not wanting to hear someone say things you don’t like to hear, … free speech kind of sucks, doesn’t it?
