Fred, I don't believe you're being fair to Simon by deleting your posts and not allowing others to judge whether your remarks to Simon could elicit such a respons.
Your response to Simon was something like this:
Hint for Simon: think of what fountains do
To you, I'm sure that is a straightforward response.
To others, it could certainly be interpreted as rather rude.
I may be wrong, but I don't think you thanked him for his remarks, which, on the whole appeared positive to me. The combination of those two factors could make anyone defensive.
like you, Simon has the right to be sensitive to comments.
