What you said. Its wrong. I'm not like that.

I was a command-line master. Because you had to be, before IDEs.

And the last comment was to match the tone of the parent comment.

"I was a command-line master."

Okay.

"And the last comment was to match the tone of the parent comment."

Except you didn't match the tone of the parent comment. You said, "You're juvenile and only prefer the command line because of pride." The parent contains nothing similar; the nearest I see is a reasoned guess at your level of comfort using a tool - not even your level of skill with the tool - accompanied by an explicit statement that it's not intended as a judgement. Even if it's wrong, that's not an insult.

If this is the level of discussion I'm going to be getting, I'm done with this thread.

I guess I was put off by the glib dissection of my skills and personality. Maybe it didn't seem that way when written, but it sure did when read. Its call 'ad hominem' and I responded in kind, which was probably not very cool. I apologize.
