Hi :) Why would any new person know what you did yday or last week, let alone for the last 4 years?
That it wasn't you scolding the new person last time is not the point. Each thread is made hostile. There is a reason why some communities are growing and increasingly attracting more and more devs. Others, like this one, are toxic and discourage people from wanting to join in. Why should i accept your rants? It's rude and unnecessary. I do have a sense of humour but it only includes things that are funny. Your post wasn't funny.
