there was a guy on dovenet asking for help about some basic stuff.

I said you should check out the documentation, because unlike a lot of bbs 
softwares, synchronet has some pretty good documentation. you can look at it 
and follow along while you try what you are doing. I said it in that exact 
way.

this is a new guy, never been around.

this shithead then goes on reddit and starts a thread saying what is up with 
this mro guy, he told me RTFM (which i never say rtfm)  why am i such an 
asshole. a bunch of people defended me actually and then he deleted his 
thread.

then he disappeared forever.
