If you find us (particularly me) being rude there are numerous ways to handle it:
A. Use the Report Button
B. Contact the Member - plenty of people have IMd me to ask further questions or to ask what I was saying and none of them have ever said anything on the side of "I'm blocking you because you are too rude."
C. Block the User via Buddy List
D. Just Don't Log In
A lot of the lack of niceness iThink can be traced back to the fact that issues are covered numerous times and a lot of times people seem to be coming here with an agenda, but still ask questions, trying to get users to agree with them and then when there is a difference of opinion, things start to go downhill.
well I'm just letting this one roll off my shoulders but I will take your advice for next time! Thanks!
