Kind words costs us nothing, and is condusive to helping a newbie correct mistakes we see...and we were all once in those newbies' shoes, ourselves.

No you don't.

Laurie said:I have personally only seen a handful of posts on here that I considered rude. I think it's very hard when reading comments on a forum to judge the persons intention. Without eye contact, voice infliction etc it's hard to know how to take someone. I am a pretty sarcastic person and sometimes I re read some of my posts and think they may not have come across the way I meant them.
I also think its equally as rude for some people who ask questions when it is clear they made no attempt to read any information on here. This forum has a wealth of information that is easy to access. I'm not saying its wrong to ask questions obviously, but when the same question was asked and answered six times on the same page, it just bothers me a bit. My own personal pet peeve I guess

We could work on starting one, if you would like.

I was talking about having personal vendettas, not arguing. I know we argue like an old married couple on this forum all the time, I personally find it very entertaining
