I've been watching a thread my sister has inputed to, someone wanted help with a family and she did some look ups for her along with other members. the said person apparently knew some of the info given and made no bones about it, the way the person wrote several answers to people's help was and is boardering on very rude. If people are good enough to help other people the people they are helping should at least have the courtesy to be polite !!! Now my sister has another predicament in that the person has aproached her for help, but the way that person has asked for the help boarders on offensive!!

If this person has been rude on a thread then she should ignore than. If she has received a pm then she can ask GR to block further conact.

I'm afraid that what has happened to your sister is quite a common occurence

I've experienced this as well, i think people just don't realise they are being rude or offensive! Maybe she ought to just say to her - by the way do you realise you answers come across as very rude sometimes!!
