Shifaa is a sharp writer. However, I think that he took it personally this time. I do not think that Marc meant disrespect or anything like that. However he heard back a sharp responce and I actually raised the issue with Marc who seems to be not intereseted to respond.
i agree with samara, when things get personal responses can change drastically
