I'm of the opion that this type of environment is never the place to get upset about something someone says. We are all from different backgrounds and have educations. Sometimes we have trouble communicating what we really mean and are really trying to say in the written word. I've reread some of my posts before I've posted them and went "What?" and I wrote em!
It's hard enough to tell what a persons intent is by things they say when your looking them in the eye in person, hearing the tone of their voice let alone reading something they've written from thousands of miles away.
Best bet if you think someone is running you down or insulting you take the high road and ignore it or if need be email or PM them to clarify their meaning. Could be they are like me and just haven't had much fetchin' up.
Use the preview post option and read back through your posts before you post them and try to always put yourself on the other side of how it reads. Feelings are easy to accidently hurt and sometimes impossible to weld back together.
The Bolt's a great place, let's keep it that way!
