Between the comma splice and the word substitutions and things, I can't understand this. Can you try to simplify this, split it into 2-3 sentences, and so clarify what you wanted to say?

Very rude. Just because you work for The Register doesn’t mean you can bring your toxicity here.

  1. Pointing out a garbled message is not "toxic". 2. I tried to word it politely, in fact. If you understood it then what do you think it meant?

  I couldn't make sense of it either. The top level comment doesn't make sense as written. >One of the best tools to set a Windows/Reactos computer among MMC.exe, and now their are ditching it because of braindead mobile users with no clues to solve anything. I was just skipping the comment because it was made no sense and seems to be trying to be hostile. Skipping it is arguably more toxic than asking politely to rephrase it. Skipping it assumes the meaning behind the comment isn't worth trying to decipher. I default to, "If they can't be bothered to write it properly then it's probably not worth reading". But that's not always fair to EFL people or NT people. What do you feel the correct course of action is? --- Edit: Based on the comment and what pcdoodle has said, is this a fair representation of how you interpret the comment? >Control Panel is one of the best tools to configure a Windows/ReactOS computer. (Another such tool is "MMC.exe".) >Braindead and clueless mobile users can't figure out how to use Control Panel. That's why Microsoft are ditching Control Panel in favour of the more iOS/Android-style Settings. >This is frustrating to me as a Windows power user.
