Statements are confirmed or denied, not questions.  Questions are
answered.

There's a gigantic difference between these two questions:

"do you have a problem with infrastructure (i.e. package pools ...)?"
"why do you have a problem with infrastructure (i.e. package pools ...)?"

You wrote the latter, which clearly misrepresents what Steve wrote.

You seem like a smart guy, so I can only assume you were being
dishonest, and not just incompetent.  Combine that with your
selfishness, your arrogance, and your excessive, unnecessary, and
juvenile obscenity, and here's what you get:
