Sub Courtesy

Twice in the past month I've seen RTFM (read the fucking manual) in response to posts. I'm interested to hear how others feel about this. I find it dismissive and insulting. It implies a stupid question or that the poster should have done research before posting. The rules of the sub call for comments to be civil, mature and constructive. RTFM violates all of those in my opinion.

A constructive response might be "On page XXX the owners manual states..." Alternatively, if the question posed isn't worth your trouble, don't say anything.

For my 26 Rav4 PHEV the manuals are a combined 1,092 pages. I've read them and I still don't know how lots of things work. This sub has been a valuable resource for me.

How do other feel about the use of RTFM?

Had my '26 less than 2 weeks when the latch on the plug boke off. I was taking it out of it's holder on the wall when I heard a snap. I didn't pull very hard, just one bare hand. Dealer says it's not covered by warranty because I was using it so it's my fault. How can that be?

Anyone else have similar breakage or warranty rejections?
