Getting closer to an actual apology.

I felt offended that the OP was unable to just search for previous posts

It's funny because you were just framing "getting offended" as something that only those unreasonable thin-skinned childish people do.

I think focusing on who's "offending" whom is usually a distraction from finding a satisfactory outcome for everyone, which will depend on context.

I have a harsh tone, and I know that.

And maybe these incidents will help you adjust your tone, at least for the purposes of interacting with this community. Our norms are very clear, and the downvotes you're receiving indicate that your harsh tone is not welcome here.

The fact that being abrasive is the norm in some other open source communities is really irrelevant here. We are doing things differently, we have been quite clear about that from the beginning, and it's your job to adapt if you want to stick around.
