I think OP just doesn't like or want to hear anything other than what he wants to hear.
I read the thread he was referring to as getting negative comments, and I really didn't see the condescending commentary he was referring to. Mostly people trying to help and give some advice.. same as this thread.
I suspect OP won't be back, at least probably not to this thread. He is getting advice, just not what he wants to hear. Therefore, it will likely be viewed as condescending as well.
It's a shame that some people can't accept advice or opinions contrary to what they want to hear.
