Coming in from sideline, I would say it goes both ways. If someone writes something you just cannot understand, it's also perfectly possible to simply respond with "I'm sorry, I didn't get that, would you mind expanding or explaining?" All in all, that usually takes less time and energy than to get into an argument about who can be the more civil...
