I should keep my mouth shut...

 I should, but I just can't stand rudeness. It's where all my problems on the list emanated from, and now on another list...I just cannot deal with it. And everybody has an excuse for it. I don't care if the other person is rude first, (in this case, I think it just sounded that way because the person apparently doesn't speak English as their native tongue) it doesn't make it right to be rude in return. Not in public, at any rate. If people want to act like alley cats, do it in private.

Not saying, of course, that there isn't a time and a place to take the gloves off, but not right out of the gate. And you don't say something and then lock the gates so there can be no response or explanation.

Obviously I need to go back to working on my chapters and focus on that mess...

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with asking about downloads or where to find them. As I said, the main Shrine site had them - big deal that they didn't have them all up at once, they still had them. But my whole point was the rude response. There was no call for that. It's along the same line we talked about on DTD, about people not knowing how to debate online.

Life would be so much nicer for everyone if people talked to each other like they would their mothers. ;-) Or their ministers :D
