And failure to respond to the messages of others is just rude.

I was not the one who continued the argument, and the BBC can't protect you from the fact that yes, you do sound like a snobbish prick, with no offense intended.

This is an open forum, where free speech is common practice. Spamming is posting for no point; my last post was to offer a previously unmentioned possibility.

Yes, I read the four little snippets you quoted too, but I already responded to those. I was responding to Aerandir and Tsardel in my last post. And as you offered nothing to further the topic itself, please tell me, what was the point of your post? To tell me, in formal words, to 'shut up?' Again, this is an open forum.

I had finished my argument earlier. But more people posted, so I responded. Is that a crime here?

Wasn't there a word here, that people with courtesy often use to differentiate between a respectful suggestion and an order? Oh, yes, now I remember. Please. It would have been nice to read that at least once...

I don't want any hostility here. But honestly, why am I the only target of your, dare I say it, mother-like lecture when I was only the last in a long line of posts after what you seemed to think was the topic's end? Not that I think any of us should be targeted at all. Was there something different about my post?

If only you could read emotions in text...
