Downvoted the parent (I have no doubt someone will rectify the temporary negative total). I hate high handed behaviour and so crying wolf over cult like high handedness is an instrumental detriment to me.

It's also unhelpful to someone even if they take your advice and read the sequences, because they're not terribly likely to figure out the connections between them and what they said in their post.

I would have upvoted if the expressed reasoning was "Downvoted for not providing the necessary reference to the sequence that would make the confusion obvious. It would not be hard for you to find the link matthew found and leaving it off is presumptive and makes you look kinda like a tool."

(ETA: Good change. Vote now neutral.)
