If you see that reply as sarcastic, it's most likely because you're intentionally doing so. I would say it's perhaps you that lives in the uncivilized place if you automatically take the attitude that anything anyone says must be rude if they didnt sprinkle what they said with flowers and bunnies, instead of just giving them the benefit of the doubt if you arent wholly sure you're understanding what they said in the way they meant it.
There's no rudeness in the reply, no assault against the OP, it's just a short and to-the-point reply that, basically, gives the OP the answer that avoids the most hassle.

So originally, daemon was a bit abrasive and nosa101's comment does have a bit of apprehensiveness to it.

And then, further down, we get:

So.. I can certainly see why the OP is feeling a bit attacked. He starts a thread and immediately gets apprehensive responses - which then puts him on the defensive- and following that a guy telling him, in a rather down-their-nose way, that he's the non-community minded one.

I don't disagree that search would have answer the bulk of his questions (although, I'm not sure there actually *is* a step-by-step howto on getting the N900 to Dual Boot Meego) - but the approach of the responses and the defensiveness of the OP contributed to a rather unwelcome atmosphere in this particular thread.
