Robert, there are a lot of people who just don't know how to read other's posts and more often then not, take things the wrong way. I'll admit I have been guilty of this in the past myself.
Couple that with an industry that is chock full of massive egos (even the employees have this issue, nevermind the owners) and you have yourself a breeding ground for misunderstandings and eventually a hateful atmosphere at times.
I had an ICQ conversation with a fairly well known marketing person about a year ago that went south because he was completely misunderstanding my humor. He gave me a cold reception last time we met in person, and to this day has a different opinion of me. There isn't much I can do about it. I'm certainly not losing sleep over it either.
