Telperion, this sort of sarcasm and aggression is unwarranted.

And actually the original post was deleted by a moderator, I wanted to thank Ottershrew for his or her book suggestion so I reposted minus the childishness.
The fact of the matter is people who are new to this forum should not have to fret and worry about being run off by those who are full of themselves and on some kind of intellectual power trip. If you want to give constructive criticism, do so in a matter that befits speaking to other adults otherwise keep your opinions to yourself. If someone speaks to me like a child, I will return the favor.
Actually, Telperion, the fact of the matter is that people who come to this forum with a high level of self-importance almost always end up where you are right now. Consider, for a moment, that DonaldJ meant absolutely no offense at all by his statement and that it was simply a statement of fact. This is likely the case - however - you read it as if he was being snide and sarcastic (a trait you have demonstrated yourself) and became so offended that you responded like an angry child.
That entire response of yours was based on a faulty perception of exactly what DonaldJ meant when he wrote what he wrote.
People who are this easily offended have very high levels of self-importance and, due to this, find themselves offended quite often by all sorts of situations and people (whether or not the situations or people objectively warrant the offense or not).
Your post was removed by a moderator, and since you are new here, you were not banned. Other forum members have been banned in the past for less.
If you are sincere about learning and about being active on this forum, then you need to make a decision about whether or not you can control your emotional reactions to things. It may be very difficult for you to do this, but if you so choose, you will undoubtedly learn a lot about yourself. If you would prefer to not interact on this forum; if your self-importance is more important than other things, then you are free to move along to another forum where sarcastic and aggressive posts are allowed. I personally hope you choose the former, but if not, that is fine too.
