Where a thread runs to several pages it is understandable and even excusable to be moved to post at the outset without reading through all the other replies/comments - life is just too short. Has this been the case perhaps?

AIBU
Maybe you're seen as, ahem, too robust, absent 
, and clearly this must be tackled robustly with random side wipes, oops, I mean swipes. Guerilla grannies, wot?
absent If I'm a guilty party, please accept my sincere apology. 
I get very frustrated from time to time when reading an interesting thread to come across a post where it is perfectly clear that the poster hasn't read the post to which she/he is responding. It's mildly irritating when someone just posts a random remark that doesn't really have a lot of relevance but it is infuriating when someone either patronises me as if I am a complete half wit or leaps to the barricades to defend something I haven't attacked. I think my posts are usually fairly clear and easy to understand so I am at a loss to explain why this seems to be happening with increasing frequency.
