i didnt speak like i owned the place... and you may notice that in later posts i admitted that it was only lighthearted what i was saying- not really that serious...[/QUOTE]Fair enough. There are smileys to show lightheartedness. Using them may avoid these types of incidents in the future. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]point being, you were commenting on being considorate or whatever and you made similar comments, but its ok, because there are smilys...[/QUOTE]Radiant, don't start arguing technicalities with me. I'm not going to explain how to use smileys to you - I'm sure you know how and when to use them. I gave you some advice on how to deal with fellow members by not having an abrasive attitude (eg calling someone arrogant as a first post on a thread) because that's what I'm here for. I hope you're not telling me that you don't even welcome advice?

I suggest you take my comments in the spirit in which I gave them. I'm not trying to put you down so don't take them that way - I'm telling you how things work here. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QB][/QUOTE]
it all seems a tad regimented from what i remembered before- even down to signature sizes.. and i have a dial up modem too so i suffer too...and an abrasive attitude? thats a matter of interpritation. what one person regards as abrasive isnt necesserily immediately correct.
