such harse words are against the holy book. If you would be kind enough to look at one of the all time best nodes; 1st Monasterians you will find and I quote,

"4Brothers and sisters, I beseech you to continue fighting the good fight, showing patience and understanding to those who come to the gates of our blessed Monastery, bereft of clues and ignorant of our ways. 5Do not rebuke them with harsh words such as "RTFM", but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom. 6Suffer the newbies to come unto us, instructing them of the many truths contained within the good book. 7For who among us has never been in a state of error or ignorance?"

Amen to that I say to that, brother. I made a mistake but it would be wise to follow the words of Erudil and not flame me for it with evil words and violent jestures, but to guide me and lead me back to the flock, for we all are learning.
