DS, not sure why you felt the need to report this post to the moderators. All I see is you politely getting bitchslapped by someone more knoweldgeable on a topic then you. Quit whining.
It's fine Jamis. I'll accept whatever response is deemed appropriate, including voluntarily removing myself is asked. I'm just tired of this kind of thing.
I know I get worked up, but if I do so in error, (ie with kgbsquirrel in the drone thread), I apologize.
I attempt to keep in line with this being armed POLITE society, but if anyone bothers to notice I don't respond with personal attacks or anything impolite until after such behavior is visited on me. I try to make my points in as factual of a way as possible given certain external legal limitations, and do so with a substantial amount of research where possible, and I am always willing to cite sources.
While parroting responses and sarcastic digs are only mildly impolite, they are extremely frustrating when they are responses to posts that take some signficant time to formulate, hence my general disdain and anger associated with that type of response.
One aspect of politeness is not initiating behavior that one doesn't want returned, but to expect polite responses when one is impolite is ludicrous.
Apologies to the mods and the rest of the board for 'starting' something.
