what is the need to have such a knee jerk reply? Seriously, why would you say something like that?

My comment meant: "Bye bye " for me. As in: I'm not using it anymore.

I don't get you man.

I'm not the commenter. But taken at face value, your comment could be either bye bye mailinator.com (I'm not using you anymore) or bye bye mailinator.com (no one is going to use you anymore). Fwiw, I thought you meant the latter until I read your reply.

Thank you. I can see that. But if anyone really is curious about the meaning and needs clarification, I believe it’s best to ask.

I would have never thought you meant the former. I believe it’s better to be more clear and evident in your writing.

Same here.

The knee jerk comment is yours. 'Bye Bye Mailinator' is too short to convey anything useful other than the general case, that you believe that you or those that use Apple will defect from Mailinator in droves. The typical use case for Mailinator and the overlap between the Apple eco-system as well as the fact that they specialize in this and that for Apple it is 'just another feature' makes me question whether or not you have thought through the ambiguity in your comment, by taking the most probably meaning and responding to that you have a chance to clarify your position.
