OTOH, I feel compelled to mention that attempting to kill a raised, perfectly legitimate issue in an unreasonable way (by taking it to be a personal offense), may alienate some people...
That said, I would myself probably take it as a personal offence too if I were told “I wonder if you’ve spent one second thinking about...” or if I were accused of “after me the flood” mentality. If Adrian certainly didn’t handle the situation perfectly, neither did Jeremias. In the end, I go along with Chris when reminding that e-mail is a cold form of communication, which more than any other form should encourage /everyone/ to make an effort to remain courteous. Trying hard to understand the other’s point of view before replying may help, too. The thread leaves me with a whole feeling of misunderstandings. <snip/> Vincent
