Maybe you could give the forum another chance and post your questions and observations again. Once you feel that someone is condesending and/or disrespectful, call them on it. You know, though, I have seen a few individuals come and go that no matter how someone tried to have an intelligent conversation with them or post information that they may have not known, they've felt threatened and lashed out and somehow got things discombobulated even when no insult or disrespect was intended. I'm not saying this is you, because I have no idea who you are or what conditions you are talking about. Another thing, looking like a class idiot is all in your response. Why is it that some people go through life deflecting blows left and right without a bat of the eyelash and no one thinks them inferior? Then there are those people who don't seem to have enough sense to know when they are right and to stand up for themselves when the situation calls for it. I know I was that way growing up in my family. There was a time where I put my foot down and told myself that I wouldn't accept their criticism because I did have enough sense and intelligence, but it was MY responsibility to make THEM see that. I couldn't wish it out of them nor nag it out of them. My own burgeoning sense or self-respect innately told them to back off without verbal conflict on my part... I really hope you don't take that as a critique because that is not my intention. And I hope you respond.
