He is entirely correct to point out your poor netiquette.  Many of the
practices you use, such as top-posting and short-handing, are considered
childish and rude in a professional environment.  This is a list of
writers, editors, and translators.  You will find no mercy here if you
intentionally disregard proper English form.  He may be responding in a
more hostile manner than is necessary, but he did not call you an
idiot.  Your rash responses are indefensible.

While, yes, efforts to educate others might be better placed in an
educational institution, you must remember where you are.  If you choose
to disregard what is considered polite and proper, you cannot expect
others to be polite and proper towards you.

He is being far more polite at this time than you are, though you could
both do well to calm yourselves.  He has not once uttered a curse
against you.

His response was a legitimate follow-up to your post.  Your post is
perhaps more questionable.

He may have been more insulting than necessary, but he is doing nothing
more than standing up for a legitimate position.

You should try to talk your employer into removing or modifying the
disclaimer.  I'm sure there are wise people among them who would be
willing to work something out.  It really is counter-productive.

If you are going to continue posting to this list, please regard the
simple style and manner guidelines that the rest of us adhere to.  It
doesn't take much effort to follow the simple rules -- typing complete
words and sentences, using proper punctuation and capitalization,
running a simple spell-check, etc.  The rest of us have no complaints
regarding this processes, and it has served us well for a very long
time.  At the very least, it would save you from irritating messages
from the less-tolerant subscribers.  Continuing to disregard and
disrespect the rest of the list will certainly not serve you well.

Now, can we please all be gentlemen and let this thread die.  Let us
resume our normal activities, and try to show respect for one another,
no matter how much it hurts to do so.  ;-)
