Hi Marty.
You are likely to get one of those PBCs (Please be civil) advisories because of the construction of your phrases in your previous post. The guidelines of civility as they are enforced here are difficult to get the hang of.
If you characterize someone's words as being unsensitive and sarcastic, you are by implication saying that they are an unsensitive and sarcastic person. This is considered to be a put-down and usually earns a PBC.
It really doesn't matter if the post you react to is judged to be uncivil. Too "wrongs" don't make a right - that sort of thing.
You learn self-control here after awhile. I am not without my lapses, and cannot always understand the subtleties of the "rules". Don't take it personally if your post gets flagged.
Keep posting.
- Scott
