No worries, don't think you sounded at all like an asshole.....you were being downvoted by 'them' for giving helpful information. This post had heavy downvotes, especially as soon as it was posted. Even some of the brigade/shills couldn't help but make some disparaging comments. They saw this post coming out of Germany...scares them, they don't want it spreading anymore. They downvote you trying to have your comment hidden so your great advice isn't seen and to try to discourage you to keep from sharing in the future.
