there are ways of getting your POV across in a more diplomatic or obtuse manner to get your dig in without getting your post hidden or eventually getting banned from a given forum or even tombstoned. My suggestion is not to type something in frustration and hit the "post my reply" icon. Think about it, revise it if necessary and then post it. You can be confrontational without slapping them in the face.
