I was obviously referring to the snarky comment you made earlier, in case
you forgot.

I have always been respectful and careful not to step on any toes, and I’m
grateful for all the help I got from everybody on the list. But you have
been acting like a pompous ass from the very start, and we’ve had this
problem more than once in the past. If you can’t help being a dick, you can
fuck right off with your free help.  I really don’t need to take shit from
you, no matter how smart or helpful you think you are.
