I've found the best thing to do is just ignore it. I got a few uppity replies to messages when I first joined the boards and wondered whether I should hang around. I decided to just ignore it because they are few and far between. I also thought that sometimes it's hard to put into text what you are trying to say and what might look like something hostile, isn't what the author intended. I have come across uppity a few time and didn't realise it until someone pulled me up on it. For the most part, the regular members here are pretty easy going and want to help others out. That's why they are regulars.
