Sometimes you get what you get. When someone is treated rudely the response can follow 2 different paths. Many...for the common good just ignore it and carry on without further escalation. Others have a more measured answer and at times that can be expected. I have always felt that rude people can expect to be treated rudely back. Contrary to that... people who are kind to others are more often than not treated much better than rude people.
Just to be fair, I wasn't criticizing spelling, capitalization or punctuation. Everybody misses that with these keyboards and if you're on a cell phone, forget it. You will get stuff wrong just with spellcheck alone. I agree on how people are treated. And IIRC, being rude is against the rules. that's where the mod comes in although as members, we can surely chime in and speak up too.
