Thank you for your kind words as well @fixit7 .
And to answer your question - your posts tend to bring interesting questions and return to some old solutions that may have been put behind to simmer in histories of forums like AskUbuntu
Don't be discouraged in writing posts because I know you mean well - I would recall :
I understand sometimes it gets hard to write and/or read what the problem is because in the end this is just a forum, not a phone call nor a real life conversation so there are more chances to loose track of what is being conveyed in a message and therefore a lot more chances to get angry at miscommunication
To conclude - I believe you as well as @ericmarceau mean well and I am sure if you discussed things with more non-verbal communication options (i.e. with voice tone, facial expressions) this little argument wouldn't exist 
What I want to say is - before typing we should all take a deep breath and ponder over our text for a moment before replying haha
