Your original post said that "any help would be absolutely fantastic" and when one member just posted with a list of answers to some of the questions you seemed to consider that to be sufficient, responding with "Thank you, I really appreciate it."
You state that you put down what you believed the answers were and why you thought they were right, but 90 minutes later and only because someone said you should. As far as I can tell, if we had just responded by answering all of your questions without any explanations, you would've thought that was great. You say you want to understand the material, but you never asked Antonio to explain WHY the answers he posted were correct. Which makes me think that you don't really care, you're just saying you do now so that you seem like an innocent victim.
But you're not. You're a cheater. Answering 97% of the questions on your own doesn't justify what you tried to do with the other 3%.

I do understand what you mean about how it may have come off as cheating since I just said "thank you, I really appreciate it" instead of asking for a reason. I admit I probably should have explained my reasonings in my first post, but my initial goal intent was to see what someone else's answer was, compare it with what I had as my own answer, and if it was off, THEN ask why it was wrong.
But with that said, you cannot ASSUME that I wasn't going to ask you for an explanation afterwards. It just so happens that the answers that were given to me by Antonio matched the answers I already had, so why would I ask him for his reasoning when it matches with mine?
In my post where I explained my reasoning, a fellow poster was nice enough to point out my error in thinking in the few questions I missed, and even told me that the answer and reasoning to a majority of the questions I asked was correct. So, I'd like to thank this person for helping me out and for explaining to me how some of my thinking was right on and how some of my thinking was erroneous.
So I definitely don't appreciate you saying
, because that's harsh and you don't know who I am. You can't assume that I was a cheater and you can't just say that about a person. I think you came off cold in your post, but I don't know you and who you are well enough to say "you're a jerk".
