Using "I Statements" to express our reactions is OK, but including characterizations of others as "hostile" or "accusatory" is not.Sorry Racer. I actually said he "sounded" hostile and accusatory, not that he "was" hostile and accusatory. I'm not sure how else I could have worded that, but I just tried to be honest about my response, since that's how the poster in question came across to me, and the poster made a comment about it.

I know that in extreme situations it's better to contact the administrators, but I didn't feel it was extreme, and if the poster in question notes that he senses you to be annoyed, I figured it wasn't necessary to go to administrators for something like this and maybe it was better to be honest? Sorry, I'm now confused about the whole procedure.
Oh well, I'm sorry if it wasn't civil. It wasn't intended that way, but it was intended to be honest and I made sure to use "I" statements, along with saying the person "sounded" as opposed to the person "is" to ensure I wasn't calling the person any negative adjectives.
