Don't be discourage or the OP will have achieved his goal. It's not the
first time he calls someone stupid on this list. Who know why he feels
entitled to such extreme and why he thinks every time his target will
simply absorb the insult.  Not desirable at all.

Don't give up on helping others. Instead consider citing sources that
backup your statements or a short explanation like "do this... because"
or a warning about what the action might do to a system. Sometimes
it's better to take a bit of time and give a good advice rather than post
pointlessly and respond to every message on this list.
