I have a personal policy of not "liking" disrespectful posts. The one you cite, I didn't have any issues with. I'm actually one of the people who added a comment under it. Sometimes when those of us who have been working this for a long time get fatigued, we get a little flip. Still, that's not a good excuse. His post, while not ideal, didn't cross the line for me to the point of disrespect. However, I do understand your concern and caution. Thank you for making the point.
