Some of us come off a little harsh at times.
Usually it is because we have done it a few or many times and figured out the easiest/fastest/best way of doing it and when someone seems to insist on doing it thier way, the newbie, way, or the by the book way...we just shake our heads. Lol
You would be amazed the damn near argument I got into with a lady on mytractorforum.com trying to help her with a carb on a JD.
She admitted she had never done this before but she wasn't into any suggestion or way she had not vetted or deemed correct!
I think she had a big chip on her shoulder as we didn't know she was a she UNTIL she made SURE to tell us all.
Made do difference to me as I thought it was a man and certainly would be no MORE harsh to a lady.
She YELLED at me in posts after I told here more than once that the solenoid on bottom of carb didn't need to be there to run properly and explained what its intended function is and that even when working properly it often does no accomplish this intended function.
She insisted in doing it here way. ordered a JD carb for over $100 and months later posted back that she gave up on it and sold it and moved on to another one......SMDH!!!!
I would have had it up an running in 3 minutes tops for $0 but and I know it as I have done it 100s of times.
Some people are not open to out of the box or many alternative ideas.
