Stroller, all I can say is that you are reading too much into my posts and trying to second-guess my intentions. Yes I did express some sentiments of frustration - I made that quite plain, I gave the reason why, I described what probably caused it, substantiated that there is something that could be done about it, and even was the one that took action on it. True, I expressed some shock when the answers weren't as polite as I imagined, and yes, I did actively respond to any specific dismissives of what I thought was the problem. But no, I did not address the "community at large" in some sort of "you owe me" attitude. You've already noted that any nuances in my posts are subtle at best, and it would be fine for you to take your own advice and not assume like a problem exists before you should. I just think you're projecting your previous frustrations at people who are asking for apologies into my posts. Everyone has their bad day. But I think it's misguided. For one, I just described above that there aren't any. For two, I really do write like that, almost all the time, and I think many other people do, and I think it would be a much finer world if we all wrote as civil as we could despite any feelings about the situation. If you're that emotionally invested in getting offended by my style, then have a nice day. You're not solving anything. Sounds funny coming from me, but you should probably just ignore the posts then.
