"no one who isn't a jerk would say this to someone's face when they were showing their work."

That's just your opinion, and in my opinion you are being far more offensive than Colliwinks by calling him a jerk on a public forum.

On the contrary, my assumption is that Colliwinks is not a jerk and would never have said that in person, and therefore broke the guidelines (presumably unintentionally) by saying it here. That's why I said "to someone's face" - it's the most important part.
