Well, after reading your initial response, I can tell you exactly why you got downvoted.

The line:
 xcopy... Comes off as a bit rude. Most people that reply to questions use the three generic names: "foo, bar, and baz." People probably found offense when you said "pr0n" (I didn't find offense, but I think it was silly to use it as part of the example). There's a time to be funny, and a time to help someone get a problem solved. If you don't know how to distinguish one from the other (or don't think there is a reason to do so), then you'll have more --'s in the future.
