I'm terribly sorry to those that I have named, but I was directing those messages to VeryVoodoo and NeverBloom. You have your opinions, we will try to respect that. However, please remember that while you're sticking to your opinions, which may be factually correct depending on situation, that staying civil throughout the argument is better for pushing the community forward, which I do believe is your rationale for posting in this forum. We're all here with the purpose of trying to help each other, let's not allow our personal feeling of annoyance infiltrate this community?

To answer your question Sana, I've noticed that while you've indeed tried to be civil with your phrasing, one could interpret your tone as dismissive, as I quote here

What seems to be getting ignored here is that I didn't start this discussion to prove a point, but rather to get answers to specific questions from Voodoo. Answers he has declined to give even after reminding him. I have things to do; I can't waste all my time arguing here.

@Voodoo: Answer my questions and maybe I'll answer some of your's. Otherwise, I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels with you.
from general discussion thread #3360. Now, I understand that with context, at that point you're probably running out of patience, but it appears to probably add fuel to the fire that has already been burning kinda hot at that point. You don't have to satisfy people, and I'm not asking you to, but rather I might caution you that if you're dealing with someone already dissatisfied with you by that point, you probably shouldn't engage further
