By all means be as imprecise and incorrect as you want, but you can hardly complain when people on a technical forum correct your imprecision ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

perhaps the commentor should have specified explicit bounds to their precision.

You were rude I would like you not to interact with me any more, it's that simple.

  What, precisely, did you find rude about “ Ada. It’s not an acronym. ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act.”? Sincere question. Rudeness was not my intention, and those three sentences appear to be three simple facts completely neutral in nature. I’m not understanding how they could possibly be perceived as rude. “go away” on the other hand, seemed an unnecessarily hostile and rude response to such a neutral correction, and I think the voting well reflects that. On the whole I get the feeling I’d prefer not interacting with someone so hostile about nothing, too, but I’m hardly inclined to let the assertion that I was rude go unchallenged.

    What part of you were rude please do not interact with me any more do you not get?

      What part of ”I’m disinclined to let ‘you were rude to me‘ go unchallenged just because you followed it up with ‘stop interacting with me’” do you not get? You don’t get to accuse people of things and then summarily declare that they’re not allowed to defend themselves against your daft accusations. This is a forum. If you don’t want people responding to you, don’t post. You don’t get to play silly little games like “You believe the earth is flat and also I wave my magic wand and forbid you from replying to me, so that claim cannot be challenged”. That’s not how a discussion forum works.
