We can nitpick about "first" or "!first", but the central point stands: the way OP writes makes him sound dumb, which is a shame as he's most likely bright.
That doesn't make the question less [or more] intellectually interesting. It doesn't excuse anyone's behavior beyond flags, downvotes, and the range of constructive behavior bounded by HN guidelines.
Then perhaps just as valid is to say that you seriously need to work on how you express yourself. It's true that the OP writes in a way that is more closely matched to the way people speak, rather than the way people are usually expected to write, but the way you are saying it is simply rude, non-constructive, and unhelpful.
