Rather than projecting your experience on others, I suggest you construct your statements to be in a more "personal experience" format.

I don't to be rude but I've noticed your comments/grammatical style seem to rub people the wrong way. I only bring this up in case you don't realize it. Sometimes the intent of a post doesn't translate well onto the computer screen (no inflections or subtlety).

I hope you take my comments in the manner they were intended, that being one of gentle instruction.
Actually the manner in which your comments were given is actually a "I know better than you" type. If I rub people the wrong way it is because they are opinionated, as you seem to be and don't like to have their convictions contradicted by anyone, even someone who has lived long and done the "I have tried that and found it wanting" or "been there and found it works" scene. If you don't like my style fine. As far as what I think or my grammar, if that bothers you then I must label you, and anyone else who wishes to shut me up, as one of the left wing elite who think that my right to free speech should be predicated on whether I agree with you or not.
