It's true that metacommenting about leaving a discussion in order to leave a supercilious last word is a flamebait trope. But please don't respond by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

Understood, I've read the guidelines and will endeavour to follow them.

Please don't use quotation marks to make it look like you're quoting someone when you aren't. That's also a snark trope, and we're trying to avoid those here.
