And it is obvious that you are intentionally being disrespectful.

Actually, you attack people based on who they are rather than what they wrote.

I give everyone the benefit of the doubt from the start and treat them respect. 
There is simply a point where I think it's obvious that someone is 
intentionally being disrespectful. The vast majority in this group are 
extremely respectful.

As for ignoring questions and responses, that is more often a problem of yahoo 
mail web interface. Tab, backspace and space somehow permanently delete entire 
threads and I can no longer find them (not even in trash). I apologize if I did 
not respond when I should have.

As for making fun of you and I was in the wrong, then I apologize. As a rule, I 
don't act snarky unless something is happening. I don't recall the situation 
but maybe I misinterpreted something you said or maybe incorrectly felt you 
were being disrespectful of someone else. If that was not your intent, then I 
apologize for my mistake.
