As far as I can see the guy's a troll.
Then you have just fed one. Very clever.
His post is ridiculous, so I
guess I did ridicule it a little.
You have way too much time on your hands.
To the OP, if you were serious,
sorry for my misinterpretation, and please read the FAQ before
posting.
Instead of being mean (hostile), unhelpful and unpolite, why didn't you just
tell the same (as the FAQ, as the Netiquette etc. dictates). Testosteron?
Too much cofee?
Mr Feher, if you're still annoyed that I disagreed with your reply to
another post today then say so. Otherwise calm down.
As I have already explained in another post: thanks, but no thanks. I do
not need therapy from you. BTW I am not annoyed. Surprised - maybe.

I read my lines, all four of them. I still don't see an insult.
They are unhelpful, uncessary and hostile for absolutely no reason.
This newsgroup is a public forum. I'll write what I please.
Not quite. There is a charter, a FAQ etc. for this newsgroup. Anyway there
is a question in my mind so I spit it out. I have not been able to use the
newsgroup for a while. When did you elect yourself to be the most
influential person in comp.lang.c++?
I thought
"Who cares?" was appropriate for an off-topic question,
It was not. Read the FAQ.
even if it is supremely unhelpful.
Your whole post is extremely unhelpful, waste of bandwidhh and every readers
time.
It's not much worse than "Do it yourself.
Much worse. The "Do it yourself" is about people apparently copy-pasting
their assignment here and wait for an answer. Your humiliating words were
(possibly) hitting a beginner who has done (possibly) nothing wrong, but
being a beginner. If it was not one but a troll: you have just wasted your
time to keep that troll alive by feeding it.
" [FAQ
5.3]. "Go back to whatever you did before you came in here" I find
offensive, but I support your right to say it if you must.
After an unhelpful and hostile post you came up with I thought that you must
have just got here from abusing cats or something like that. So I have felt
that my reminding you of your previous activities might save the community
from such mean postings in the future by driving you back to the act where
you can "first-hand" see the humiliation you cause by your mean words/act
and not only imagine it.
So read it and use it. And one other suggestion: try to keep that "petting
on the back" or "Bo gives you therapy" part from your posts. First of all
you fire way off target with your assumptions, second: it does not really
belong to the topic of the newsgroup.
