Thanks for the chuckle, Gilda. I needed it. I've got this image in mind of a middle aged guy in a tweed blazer with elbow patches that quite obviously has a stick up his ass complaining about somone correcting him when he's wrong. It's even better when the thing he's wrong about stereotypically involves branch-rectum insertion.
He was the one being bitchy.
Let me take just a moment to repeat what I tell my employees at least twice a month - 90% of all communication is tone of voice. You can say the exact same sentence in multiple tones and mean multiple things. Case in point - sarcasm doesn't translate into the written form very well.
