Lilith,
Your comments are thoughtful and interesting. The negative and
unprofessional responses from individuals are interesting to read and I am
glad not to have such individuals in my work environment. At work we
receive or even hear such comments around us. I think we must continue to
be professional and encourage others to be professional in their responses.
I also think that our written words may not exactly mean what we are
actually trying to say. For example, if I use the phrase "why on earth" or
"everybody knows" in a response, the intended message may be shrouded by the
poor choice of words. I think unprofessional responses are written examples
of what not to do in an electronic forum that focuses on scientific
discussions. I applaud your forwardness.
