There's enough rudeness on this thread for everyone to have their share. Fortunately, there's lots of useful information as well.
Here's my suggestion, speaking as moderator: each contributor go back to your posts and look each use of the word "you." Complaining about what "you" said, meant, implied, or wrote is a poor start if hoping to contribute information which will be listened to respectfully.
Calmly stating direct experiences or the results of research works very well, especially if offering a balance of positive and negative; long diatribes not so much. Quality information and tone will convey the message--it's not necessary to tear into someone else's opinions, which, in fact, will tend to make the poster sound less like a source of information and more like an angry partisan.
Hope that's useful.
