You get easily offended. I guess that what triggered your meta-trolling was the first sentence:

Just a quick look at their planned features compared to what's in dpkg already:
which I suppose may seem like derogatory or condescending if you have some sort of inferiority complex. You can also see it as "let's have a look at the planned features and see if they can usefully added to our package format". Probably there are some features in rpm that are not in dpkg, but that was not the subject of the message.

One of the requirements of trolling is to beg for attention, which was not the case here. The original message was also quite informative. Wait a minute, am I meta-feeding the meta-troll?
