This, on the other hand, was a small snippet replying to a short point. It's not harder to read in thread view, thusly, it's just clutter in a normal view. So no, I shouldn't double post. It was just me being lazy.

You didn't say this in the first response that I quoted, so I jumped on it. Now that it makes more sense, O.K., but make sure to write it next time, because otherwise it adds to the impression that you're jumping on someone because they have a certain reputation, not because the post you're jumping on is actually a problem.

It would be great if you were able to bring your reading comprension with your smarty pants, but I guess you left them at home.

I'm at home right now, and my reading comprehension's perfectly fine. Shouldn't assume was bolded, and with the sort of agressive wording of the rest of the post, bolded says that if you were talking face to face, you were trying to rip into someone for making a mistake instead of showing something new. This is what I see when reading the internet, if it meant something different, than O.K. If not, it much nicer, and more helpful actually, to simply write it regularly as if you were showing something different in a nice way than to write it in a yelling down way. I'm being agressive about it because I think you've been around long enough to understand this, if not, just tell me and never mind.

About the actual post, there's usually some basic information posts flying around about gameplay and such, and these are perfectly fine. If you wanted a real post to complaing about, there are plenty recent ones laying around, check out completely off topic. In this case, you're dealing with a really hard learner, but it's almost for sure better to only pound on the problem posts than to generally pound on all posts because of other bad ones.

In softer wording, I think you jumped on a post with nothing really wrong with it when there were severa lreally bad posts that you could have brought up that were actually bad.
