If you try too hard to conduct yourself with more civility and gentleness than you actually feel, slipping into indirect aggression modes like passive aggression, patronization etc is inevitable. Which is why I prefer to simply get mean and act rude if I feel like it. Ymmv.

Thank you for your assessment. I will weigh it carefully, as I trust your judgment a great deal, and my self-assessment is oft skewed, or falls where optic nerve meets eye. Yet I must confess, I am aware of no intent to patronize; rather, I meant to laud you as kind.
