> Why not just

Please learn to never use this type of phrasing when offering suggestions. Your entire exchange was needlessly patronizing and off-putting.

A bit funny, but I personally found "please learn to never..." to be MUCH more off-putting and patronizing than the "why not just...".

Maybe just something about the latter being interpreted as a question, and the former being interpreted as an order.

Thanks Dad.
