This seems like an unnecessarily jerkish response to an answer given in good faith.

On the other hand, you aren’t alone. A lot of the responses to the OP seem a bit hostile for MPSIPS, given the story that started this discussion.

Guys, this isn’t great debates or P&E, it’s MPSIMS. Questions, disagreement and well-meaning advice are expected. But at least for a first pass, please try to interpret each other’s posts assuming they were made in good faith.
