It really isn't. The tone is neutral. You are emotionally invested in this exchange and are reading that tone into it. I even think you have good reason to based on what you say here. But not because of tone.

And even if the tone is poor, I hope you'll consider what value you policing their tone brings to the discussion, if any. Ad hominem attacks do nothing to strengthen your argument.

(And yes, I say this as someone who has indulged in such on this forum and in other places. Has it ever strengthened my argument?)

Perhaps tone is the wrong word...appearance...basically they ignored all of my interactions until this, and they misrepresent a public social media profile as "private".

I am curious what you think my ad hominem attack is?
