Keep in mind that when you write a message, it may be interpreted in different ways than you expect. Always ask yourself, is this something I'd say to a friend or family member sitting across the table from me?

For example, INSTEAD of writing things like
"if you had read my post" (this is a dig)
or
"That flew right over your head" (this is an insult to the other's intelligence)
__________________________
You COULD write:
"What I meant was..." (Uses "I" instead of "you" and is respectful)
or
"Please re-read my post" (This is respectful).
___________________________
If you write...
"To me, it appears insincere / dishonest / stupid when you ..."
...This is just another way of attacking the other person and is a covert form of name-calling, in my opinion.
