Just try to let it go over your head, it's just one of those things with forums, people don't always agree and get on. It's not a big deal to sort grievances in the open and it's better than letting annoyances fester.
Left alone most arguments between two parties usually blow over without too much collateral damage.
Weezy, there are some highly recommended suppliers on this forum who provide the things you list, you have to read around a bit to get an idea of who is reliable. What isn't reliable is the hardware, wherever you get it from.
