Penelope ..T stands for "Tolleman"....

Agreed ...you were not sarcastic or belittling...didn't say you were.
But when he said "let me get out the crayons".....come on

Oh gosh, now I'm the one being really silly. I think with all the attacking, cherry picking, and nonsense, I'm starting to take everything personally and am not thinking as clearly. Sorry for bombarding you with replies.
I think others said I was being really insulting and belittling and I assumed you jumped on the bandwagon- for that I apologize.

As for his actions, two people went to 'white night me' and I appreciated it. But I also didn't want them to make things worse, or have to take on the flack. I was being insulted on a personal level a lot, and did not want that to happen to others. I had the time and energy to reply to this post, and since I started it I had no issues with addressing actual concerns. I'm not sure what more I can say to that, other people's actions are their actions. He was just trying to be nice. He was also frustrated by some people's very oblivious or silly responses.I too got rude after a point. His ' let me get out the crayons' bit was a little funny- but yes, completely condescending. He was not the only one guilty of that, and it's funny out of all the rude posts on here, only his and mine were commented on.

Again ..nice of you to defend Tolleman, and YES, there may have been other rude, and sarcastic posts, but they were all between you and the other posters , and you have definitely been able to hold your own in responding to those.
I felt no need to pile on or involve myself.

The only reason your post was commented on was to include the quote to Tolleman, where you essentially Thank him for being a White Knight in this thread, so nothing expressed about you or your position there...just a neutral fact

The only reason I posted was because his (Tollemans') was the only, or at least the most condescending, of the posts I read from one HOBBYIST against OTHER HOBBYISTS

Now, I'm sorry I did lol....I'm going golfing....

Heh.
Well, you're right. What more can I say? I guess I wasn't clear enough when mentioning there was no point arguing anymore, and it just encouraged T. I don't see anything terribly wrong with what he did- just that I didn't need it. Again, it was a little bit funny, but I guess it was the rudest thing said on the board.
See? It's very hard not to get emotionally drawn in or catty. Im sorry I lashed out at you needlessly earlier.
Have fun!
-Penelope.
