Well, I've said it many times -- I don't run into it often. Most people contacting me are nice; they need my help or they're saying thanks. I don't get too much nonsense.

Nothing.  You went more than half way just by responding civilly.  If he was to meet you face to face he would never tell you that your article sucks.  It's the anonymity of the internet that gives people the opportunity to be assholes.

It's not going to pretty for people like me. I still get hate mail over the ribbon, as if somehow it's my fault. ☹ 

I got a really nasty email from a guy last week who mentioned that my instructions say to use the xxxx menu, but there IS NO xxxx menu. The subject text was "Your article sucks." 

I responded with a simple message -- if there's no menu than you're using a ribbon version. The article you're referring to is very old. 

I wanted to get snarky about not recognizing the difference and work the word sucks in there, but I behaved myself -- you know... your powers of observation suck. That article is over six years old! 

What do you say to people like that?

As long as they keep the same shortcut keys I guess I don't' care anymore.
