Sorry, I tried not to jump to any conclusions, and I even tried to indicate that in my message. I couldn't figure how to take that message in any other way though, but as a knock on blind people.
I realize that you have to consider a person's native language and state of mind when reading their messages, but I also think someone posting a message bears some responsibility in how they come across. I also don't think that sarcasm excuses a demeaning statement. I was obviously the only person who interpretted this message in a negative connotation though, so I'll chalk it up to my own over sensitivity, and ask the moderators and the members of the list to forgive me and the poor way I composed my message.
