While I did express myself strongly and with a fair bit of sarcasm I also demarked my emotional rant as such. Further I kept my comments in response to the topic without getting personal about those bringing up those topics. I appreciate getting personal comments in the form of a PM. As yet I have recieved some feedback on my post from individuals who felt that I might be a little too passionate about things but I have not gotten any PM or other interaction from the moderators. I don't mind folks stating their opinion strongly or otherwise on any topic and I feel free to do so as well. I do take a certain offense when I become a personal target for someones sarcasm in public. I have avoided that particular offense as much as possible and would appreciate it if I could count on the same courtesy.
