True you didn't. Yet the method you presented it implied it is that
simple. Being more explicit in what you mean will do you more good
than bad.

Dude will kindly ask you to calm down. Similar to your account request
a while you're acting immature and provocative.

Brian is one of the most reasonable and helpful people around here. I
believe we all owe his some respect if it wasn't for his skills and
contributions then at least for starting the whole project.

If you find such replies annoying/demanding/etc. I would suggest
taking a short break and replying at a later stage. Nobody is gaining
anything in such discussions.

Thanks
