And that was my understanding of the point you were making!

People tend to read between the lines, or have selective reading, and in doing so, get defensive. I've seen a lot of this in other threads also. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and who can say who is right and who is wrong. IMO, there is no right or wrong, just folks voicing their views, and they should not be criticized for it.
And again, I feel that is just plain, old, common courtesy, and we as adults, should practice it.
