WTF???

That's completely uncalled-for.

What makes you think so?

Ad hominem attacks are *never* called for.

I'm afraid you need to learn better what `ad hominem' means...

It's Latin, meaning "against the man." It's when you attack a person
rather than an idea - such as stating that an entire group of people
you've never met cannot read documentation, instead of giving an
example of a poorly-written bug report you've received.

I'm afraid it is you who is on your own.

I think I'll manage.
