Sorry if it came across as a put down. I was more questioning the use of language around calling people ignorant for not knowing how base64 works.

I thought if you're older than 16 (even in their 40s like I am), being called 16 again could just amuse you. After all, it's not really relevant to my point.

My point is: we all start somewhere. Think twice before belittling the ignorant; either educate them or ignore them.

Where are you putting your self value if you belittle the ignorant while doing nothing to uplift them?
