In response to his saying that the apps were not free, your response included "have you not heard of an apk?" This, in my opinion, suggested downloading an apk of a paid app, which is piracy. If I read it in the wrong context, I apologize. I did not check out the threads you provided because I have no need to. I trust that they were indeed helpful for the app in question, however, the OP is seeking advice for a different app. Nothing they said instigated a fight.
As for telling the user to "just Google it." If you read my response, you will see I never stated that you used those exact words. In your response you said "you have an android phone, and you should know what Google is and how to use it." Regardless of how that was intended, it can be seen as insulting their intelligence. I am not trying to insult you or offend you. I am just stating how I see the situation.

1.)I did ask if they knew what an APK was bc the thread I sent them to had it there for legit download from the developer. As far as you not needing to check that thread, you are correct. You have no need to check that thread, that is until you accuse me of promoting piracy. At that point you are making a serious accusation with out merit, all of which could have been avoided just by reading before blindly accusing.
2.)I absolutely made a smart*ss comment about them having a google phone. I made this after I gave the OP the answer they were looking for, and then they shot back a smart comment that I don't understand what free is. I didn't mean it to come across that they are not intelligent, but instead that they need to look at the answer staring them in the face. If this was the only thing you had a problem with, then that would be fine. If my tone was bad and needed corrected, fine, that is where you step in. I shouldn't have been sarcastic, but I felt that the OP was being that way with me. I am not 5 and realize that two wrongs don't make a right, so I shouldn't have typed it.
I am not looking for an argument either, but you attaching my user name to piracy is absolutely unacceptable, especially when it has zero substance behind the accusation.
Again, my response to you is not at all picking a fight, I just don't want my name associated with piracy in any regards. I am active on here and wish to remain so without some baseless crap attached to my name. I would expect you to react the same way if I accused you of promoting piracy.
Basically, if you want to tell me I am rude, cranky, a butthole, a moron, that's fine. But I will not let the piracy accusation go unanswered, especially when no such thing happened. If I am rude, no problem, I will try to tone it down, it is not meant that way, attitude and intentions are hard to communicate over words on a forum post.
