I would hope it would be fairly apparent, that if I respons with "piss off  
with your attitude" that I am, in fact, responding to a hostile message.   
Otherwise why would I mention "your attitude" ?
 
To me "WTF" says "YOU ... ARE... AN... IDIOT" I have to hold your hand and  
speak slowly.
 
It is not *my problem* to demonstrate that my own statements are backed  with 
evidence.  That is up to the person speaking.  If I say {{fact}}  it is not 
my requirement that I find the evidence.  It is the requirement  of whoever is 
asserting the statement.  That is one of the core  foundational procedures we 
have had in place in-project for years.  You are  the one saying it... so you 
show the evidence.
 
When I ask what the evidence is, to be responded-to with a "wtf" says to  me
" I can't believe we have to prove the sky is blue to this guy!"
 
It's quite hostile.  In my world.  Population one.
