Hey, I said I was probably wrong, I was just making what I thought was interesting point of view.  I fully understand your point of view, and believe it has full merit.  If you have a problem with my point of view, fine.  I can live with that.  But what I can't live with is some arrogant self-serving (insert 7-letter explicative here) telling me I'm wrong in a deameaning way.  Am I young???  Yes.  Am I wrong???  Most likely.  Do I deserve the utter disrespect you showed me???  Absolutely not.  I'm really just learning about the different applications of different types of tubas, and I will readily admit that I am in no way an expert.  As I said, I was making what I thought was an interesting point.  If my point offended you, I apologize, it was not my intent.  Most everyone on this board is a better musician than I am, and I fully respect that.  I was not taking a potshot at anyone (which I can only assume from your reaction is what you thought I meant) and if that is what you took it as, again, I apologize.  But please, before you go and shoot your mouth off at someone else, perhaps you should look something up yourself....debating ettiquitte.
