If you accept, that you are not setting the tone of the conversation as you
think it fits you.

I started to give you technical answers way before you started your completely
unjustified ranting. And I have done so before.

I'm neither going to cope with random emails in my private inbox nor with
top-posting and non-trimmed replies simply because that wastes my time. And
certainly I'm not going to cope with your assumption that not being nice is
the right way to go.

It's your decision, not mine.

Thanks,
