Chelle strikes again

jadelyntateA while back, QuinnB posted about Adelaide Kane and her new movie on the "Forgotten" thread on PRU. A few posts down and about a week later, Little Bat, a friend of Chelle's, posted the same news.
Last night, while posting about David Yosts' new movie, she quoted Little Bat's post and said: "The above was already mentioned before. "
That was it. Nothing else about it, just went straight to the David news.
Chelle posted the following in reply to it:
"You do not need to be so harsh to those posting the same news. She was alerting people it was on and that Addy sings which I didn't know myself. Sometimes posting more than once increases awareness. Had I gotten home earlier I could have viewed the movie but was pleased to see her posting about it. This is the second time I have seen you do that, Sometimes people post without reading out of excitement and it is acceptable. "
...
What, exactly, is so harsh about that? She made an observation, a direct and simple statement pointing out that Little Bat missed it. As for the thing about it being the second time, Quinn's NOT the only one to point that out in the thread. A few posts above all this Red Galaxy pointed out a post had already been mentioned.
I know I don't always get Net Manners but I honestly don't think Quinn's response was harsh and in need of being scolded. The only thing she did wrong was point it out to one of Chelle's friends.

Well...
Date: 2010-04-19 11:09 pm (UTC)True, there's nothing outright mean about "The above was already mentioned before. ", but the abruptness of it, coupled with the fact that it DOES immediately move on to the Yost news makes it come off more like Quinn seemed to be saying: "The above was already mentioned before. " in a flat angry way with an implied 'idiot' at the end of it, like a brush off or a quick slap before she moves on to the good news.
From what I can tell from Red Galaxy's comment, he's not commenting on a double post of news, he's answering the question that yes, he did post about the news.
