An explanation of who was responding to whom, was already given. Taking something personally that wasn't even directed to you, seems a bit over-the-top. It's a text-based forum, and these are open discussions. It's going to require a bit of tolerance on your part, if you intend to read these topics, follow the subject matter to helpful conclusions, and to participate. As for "professionalism" it might be helpful to know that Intuit has not once changed the forums to be more professional. Instead, they become more and more Social Networking. Just look at your badges and points. Those are not going to be exchangeable for anything of value.
