That's fine, but you have to be able to backup your answer with SOMETHING.
Taking potshots for your own enjoyment and then not being responsible for
them is childish.

Your "choosing" to discontinue is no choice; you have no alternative. You
have completely failed to account for your answer.

I merely asked you to do the same as I had, you were incapable.

The question is, why did you bother posting at all in the first place, if
you were inadequate for the task? Who's being pretentious? "Discussion"
requires input on both sides, you failed at yours.
