No
You're not meant to take it as fact, you are meant to take it as advice, something to take into consideration.

You made no mention of a specific diagnosis more than 'scabbery' (which I liked by the way) in the original post, so I guess the guy thought he could help by giving some suggestions.

I'm sure if you had disclosed that the diagnosis was more specific they guy wouldn't have made a suggestion.

People can be nice you know...

I shouldn't...
...take a bad day out on the Internet.

I should have mentioned it; it was in the draft. Then I decided that it didn't fit the flow of the missive. I didn't expect anybody to make any sort of deal out of it. I didn't expect said person to do it with (perceived) aggression.

My fault.

I am sorry, The Internet, for being a dick.
