It doesn't make people shut up either. :)
To be fair, his original post was quite polite.

When going head first into a mass of people from widely different cultures,
many trying to convey their message in a foreign language, then I think
some initial conflicts is what can be expected, regardless of the person.
And people change. If someone made some mistakes and they learned from them,
then that's a sign of a very good quality in a person.
IMO, people who don't understand that, are not worth pleasing or working
for.

I think his basic problem was, that he didn't expect help. In his mind, his
scripts didn't have problems, rather PHP had a strange behavior.
If only he had put a little effort into trying to understand what we were
trying to say. I thought your first suggestion was a clear and polite hint
that he should track down the problem in his code.
Anyway, it's not like one can demand what one wants, only hope to get what
one needs.
