Because Officemer, he already knows how to delete things really
well... Remember him trying to use gparted to solve every problem the
mailing list got.

He'll usually add random flags or use the command entirely wrongly or
even try to suggest it's the answer to every problem on the list.
Teaching people about that command when the original problem was
related to grub2. :(

He prefers wreaking havoc in the command line.

No, you just send me html emails and don't quote anyone. :(
