Regardless of whether or not the original post was rude is no excuse for a rude answer. Kindness begets kindness, patience begets patience. We have a duty to not escalate stuff like this into shit-storms. If the kid didn't post correctly, then we should answer by asking the right questions to guide him to the correct question. If you can't do that, then just move along, you don't need to post.I remember being that kid. Well, not quite so bad that I literally wanted someone to write code for me, but I'm sure someone thought my poorly worded questions were asking people to write code for me. How many kids are we scaring away because we're being assholes to them?
