PD, I’ve been through the snide tones before. I also found that whenever a lady takes exception to the snide tone, the guys tell the lady to have thick skin or ignore the comment, etc., but no guy comes forward and tells the other guy to knock it off and act like a man. You saw this happen above as well. I ignored the tone, you noted it, and the guys chided you for not liking the tone, instead of addressing the person who offended you. A bunch of woosies (sp?), I tell ya. But that’s how this group operates. Just so you know….

I’ve been called names on this forum many times, just for stating an opinion. Reach my post Sell Now from a month or so ago. Within hours, the name calling against me started, but it was done on other threads active at that time. It was surprising, but I’ve figured out who the offenders were. The people who get mad and defensive are the homeowners who will not sell because they are counting on a small drop. Any post which suggests more than that is perceived as threatening and can result in a negative tone.

However, in defense of everyone, the tone around here has been more civil and professional in the last week.
