Totally agree. However in most cases, the trolls and "demanders" are pretty obvious and easy to spot. In this case, I'd suggest the OP's words and phrasing were more ambiguous than directly insulting - it comes down to how people perceived them (including their other posts re the USB cable) - I saw them as someone who was floundering, feeling out of their depth, and looking for help, some read them as petulant demands. I'm just suggesting that when there's so little to judge on and it's possible to read more than one way, cutting new people a little slack wouldn't go amiss.
