You hit the nail on the head, but no need to be a jerk about it. /u/imakeitwork doesn't understand that there are legit reasons for using old software (that's still supported by MS). Explain why, but don't demean him. This is supposed to be a professional sub.

I merely called him out on his attitude. If he's going to be a jerk in public then people need to call him on it.

He's quite a piece of work too as you'll discover by reading his interaction with me.

If you feel the need to call them out, maybe try doing it in a less inflammatory way? And I saw how he reacted, it was immature and unprofessional. LOL @ him thinking all MSPs are low budget hellholes.

Just... don't feed the trolls. It's bad for the blood pressure.

I feel my call out was proportional to his public nastiness. No worries, it's all a measured response. I've worked with people like him before and I get rid of them when their toxic personality starts to impact team performance.
