William, I am sorry, but it seems that you were vexed by the post you are

to vex.
In general I agree with you that it is both polite and wise to attempt the most generous reading of the intent of a post. In this case however, and given the history of JDGs posting, I have difficulty finding an alternative interpretation to 'provocative rudeness' that is more favourable to him.
