Had I initiated post that provided useful information that ulitmately benefitted many, many people (200? Wow!) and helped them to save serious dollars, I would be very gratified.
Had I written a subsequent post in that same thread that directly attacked another poster who had NOT first taken a shot at me personally, I would be embarrassed.
Had the person whom I attacked responded with kind words acknowledging my initial post but completely ignored my subsequent insulting posts, I would be ashamed and feel belittled.
And I would apologize.
