Dear Sarkar,
There is nothing like being 'too harsh or soft'. Very often I have come across replies in this forum as 'please search and if not available ask here', 'this is basic terminology and need not be asked here', 'search through the archives', 'ask something worthy', 'this platform is for discussion on problems, case study, grievances', ...... of course you would have also read similar comments. Do you think those comments are rude?
Many senior members do lament over such attitudes of 'ready to serve', 'order ready', 'get me please', 'send by email', 'spoon feed me'. I thought it was good to tell the new entrant about what to do and how to search in citehr. Ask the senior moderators, they would agree that I am right.
If this sounds harsh to you, good heavens... what else to say? You could have been prompt enough to be an early bird to reply first instead of being the 10th person in line. That too your reply had no relevance to query other than criticism. Your status shows you have done only 12 posts in one year and not participative. Why?
Regards,
Chandru
