Granted, Thorstens replies in these newsgroups are not always the most
friendly-worded. However, in the specific reply you referred to, I don't
really see anything unfriendly or insulting.

The absence of being able to see face expressions and body language in
written messages means that they can often easily be interpreted more
negative than was intended. Therefore it's a good idea when reading a
written message to try to consciously interpret it as friendlily as you can.

Furthermore, if Thorstens reply was unfriendly at all, then surely your
reply to his post was far more unfriendly (and insulting too). How can you
defend that?

The key to making a community like this work is to accept other people's
ways of communicating despite small annoyances here and there.
