If I were the person to whom these responses are directed, I might feel offended, even insulted. There is no need for this kind of tone between professionals. Let's try to keep it about the content. I know frustration can arise when there is misunderstanding -- the effort should go toward building common understanding, not criticizing other individuals. Or as my mother used to say, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar.
