I too have gone into the archives to find out what the source of
all of the consternation is, and I read many of the same posts.
However, I would not have been insulted by that sort of post. I
have been to by the person in question that a post made by me was wrong or
my argument was flawed. So what? As we worked through the issue it was
found out it wasn't flawed after all. We all learned something.

Just human I think. As this thing winds down I think that an
agressive style of communication does not convert well to email, and that
is where the problem lies. Whereas when a person communicates this way
standing in front of me I can see their body english, the inflection of
their voice, and eyes, the computer screen can't communicate those things
very well.
