I agree. If someone's crowing too much or being too condescending or unnecessarily insulting, I think it's better to just ignore it. Or laugh at it. This is some guy you likely don't know from Adam who's probably, in the big scheme of things, not very important in your life. And if you do know them, if it's personal, why inflict your fight on the rest of us?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you shouldn't defend yourself or be a strong advocate for your views. But you can do that in a civil manner. Some of the fights on this board get so bitter, so personal and so ridiculous, that it distracts from why I come here -- to increase my enjoyment of the game. What I do for a living is about as adversarial as it gets. Every once in a while, I like to take a break from trying to tear out someone's throat and just share other people's thoughts on a topic I love without feeling obliged to probe them for weaknesses.
Plus, not everyone does their best communicating by way of the written word. I think you should take the sometimes hastily written messages here with a grain of salt, as the author might not have really meant what you think they meant.
