After reading everything, I went back to the original post. Amiyou began it being very polite, sort of saying, "Am I the only one who..?" Later in that post, probably just wanting to clarify, the language maybe strayed a little bit into judgmental territory. At least some here took it that way.
We also can interpret it as suggesting that some posters are unintentionally coming across as something that they really are not (or shouldn't want to be
).
Monica asked some excellent questions to clarify the OP. Those questions could have aided Amiyou to be clearer, or pushed toward revealing true colors.
I like this thread, on the whole. Perhaps it is a bit embarrassing to the B4th community, but if it guides toward more careful writing (by both the seemingly pompous and the overly critical) and not toward anyone leaving, all's well.
