I will agree with you on these points. I guess i was wrong to think i can talk about been polite on the internet, i think i need to grow thicker skin.
You are in a forum that practices free speech so when your views differientiate from other members expect to have debates and disagreements with it. You don't even need to have a thicker skin to do it if you firmly believe in what you have said then be prepared to defend it with the upcoming replies you will have. If they are rude then we can't really do anything about it that's who he is you don't have to take it too personally.
