Some posts and some emails you can tell that the writer was being quite angry or aggressive, but others you can't tell.  Perhaps it would be best if we assume that the writer was being kind in the way they are trying to get their idea across, instead of instantly thinking they are being a jerk or wanting to start a flame war.It is my belief that Harmon wanted to bring the rudeness to people’s attention, to ask why it was happening, and maybe get a few people to consider their own ways of dealing with people in public.(The ironic thing is that he left this forum looking as though he was quite rude when he just wanted to repair a broken friendship.)</blockquote>
