What is bad about it? It wasn't an offensive statement, it was stating the fact that that the person was new to the whole "MB vs. MiB" mega story that is an ongoing issue for at least over 10 years, and that I envy/pity the "cruel world that they are in" (where everyone uses JEDEC units while IEC ones should be used instead).
If that is the only reason why you're starting calling names other people and downvoting all of their comments then you're overreacting. The person I talked with didn't even mention it. I heard this phrase from some movie or something.
The last part was wrapped in a spoiler and under the post scriptum clause to indicate that it's not important and that you should really see it if you don't want to. And I added that just to educate a bit more, since I already started the " this is wrong and this is right" conversation. To be honest, I hate that that OS had so many naming changes that everyone is just left confused in the end. Some still say OS X or whatever else.
