The first thing I said was a hyperbole of a bad comment.
It is frustrating to know someone answered to a comment of your's, but the answer is gone. This also happens in community threads, if the authors delete the thread.
The very fact that this happened twice with different developers in a short time frame is quite interesting. That you encountered one quitter, ok, might happen. But two in a row? No need for details or name calling, but did those two have anything in common?
