I must be missing something. All of the messages I saw were only helpful AFAICT. I did not save all of the messages from the thread, so I went here to look at them again: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2012-06/msg00016.html There is one message not shown there, marked "Message not available". Maybe that missing one was what you had in mind? In any case, all of the other messages seem well intended and helpful, to me. That is, all of them except your message, which seemed to come from out of the blue, and which complains about "grumpy pedantic programmers working on trivial jobs" who "feel small and insecure and the only way to remedy that is to put down people who have a smaller knowledge base than they do". That does indeed seem rude, not to mention presumptuous. I wonder if we are reading the same thread? The thread I read does indeed show evidence of a helpful `"community"'.
