I must admit I don't see what Bez done wrong.
As you said in the OP, you were bigging up a product, probably because you were happy with it.
So it's human nature that we would want to see the afore mentioned product.
So having a go at the first person to query it, seems a bit harsh.
This forum is not aggressive in any way, although sometimes you do need a thick skin.
Coming back with an answer like " If I wanted your opinion, I would ask " to me, that seems aggressive.
The whole concept off forums is for you to put up your thoughts/opinions, and others to do the same.
Its not always a mutual backslapping session.
Glad you liked your product, but maybe have a chill pill.
