While I understand the point you made in that last sentence, the very last part of it sounded needlessly loaded even though I can easily figure such things out. Replacing "you don't deserve to know how" by, say, "you're not the target audience" or anything to that effect goes a long way to not detracting from getting your real point across.

BTW this last easily misunderstood sentence sits just above your "I'm available for hire" link, which is not exactly painting you in a bright light for recruitment.



I agree. There was no need to insult your audience, and it is a career-limiting move in the long run. The Internet has a long memory.


My career's doing just fine, thanks.


You're defending a made-up (mis)interpretation.


Saying "You don't deserve to know how" is not a friendly and constructive message to send to your audience or potential employers. There's no mis-interpretation here, it's in bad spirit.
