Shrug.  I entered "the conversation", namely the discussion thread, by
providing a fix after an example made it obvious that LilyPond was
deficient according to my expectations.  You entered the conversation by
providing a chastisement after my fix made it obvious that I was
deficient according to your expectations.

It would appear that the attitude with which I entered the conversation
improved the status quo and yours deteriorated it.

It is easy to predict that this will happen in exactly the same manner
the next time you choose to enter a conversation for the sole purpose of
chastising me for not doing enough and/or being nice enough.

So please look for other targets than me for improving people.  Your
toolbox for that has been proven to be utterly insufficient.  Stick to
fixing church clocks rather than pocket watches if your tools don't
scale.
