It is not right to provoke people who are already angry. They come to us for help, however they phrase it. You responded in a childish manner, which is not acceptable. My anger at you is not misdirected, I have received lawsuit threats from previous interactions just like that one. I'm tired of this whole thing, I'm tired of the things we cannot control. But the thing I'm tired of the most is people who say they are on our side, but make things worse.
Please just don't reply if you can't help these people. If I see another response from you in this manner, to any person in a similar situation, I'm removing you from the list. This is not their fault, they get stuck in a situation that's awful, and you want to try to make things better with sarcasm? That's just awful. My anger at you is not misdirected.
