Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down. Even if your feelings are hurt. Two wrongs don't make a right.
More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express yourself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, is in the FAQ:

In theory, it's straightforward to avoid someone aggressive here: just don't open their posts. At the same time, I know it can be hard to resist doing something hurtful.
I've been rethinking "blinders", a feature that would keep posters from even seeing the posts of other posters, to help them protect themselves.
