Okay, but again, I think you'd have gone about it differently, but maybe I'm wrong.
I think sometimes we forget, especially with new posters, that they are actual people who have feeling that can be hurt. We can, as I've seen people do in the past, try to put the blame on them for our rudeness by claiming that they should have researched what they were posting more. Ultimately, though, I don't think that justifies our rudeness.
I really don't think you, based on other posts I've read, really are the kind of person who would second someone else's public insult. You and Irishpipes might offer constructive criticism, but I can't really imagine that you both would stand in front of a group and tell someone that based on what you had read, her writing was so poor that she probably didn't have the minimum GPA to rush or even be in college.
It's kind of hard to imagine anyone doing it.
