That didn't seem very rational, it seemed very rude, it seemed uncalled for and if that's your regular response to people then I have no difficulty believing you don't have any friends. If you didn't like the thread then you didn't have to post let alone insult a member just for trying to be friendly.
wait... telling a person off because he is expecting flames from a thread is rude? get yourself together.
i don't know what you hoped to see from your reply, which leads me to question your motivation to reply to a weeks-old discussion in a thread. what did you expect that i would do after reading your reply? make a concession in a forum-rule backed argument?
one thing is being friendly when talking about something, another entirely is the context of one's message. racists can be friendly to people too - but that doesn't make their offense any less grave. the same would go for "friendly" bank robbers or any other "friendly" criminals.
so please, "friend", excuse my "manners" and look at the context of the discussion rather than how it was written. oh, and never mind me having studied rhetorics; never mind that i know that a "politically incorrect" way of saying things makes people actually listen instead of taking it as a "helpful" reminder.
