If you are pulling Crystal Tower levels of DPS at max level content, you are the asshole. If you have an expectation that strangers should take time out of their day to teach you your class when it's easy as shit to just google up one of the very helpful guides that nice people wrote for everyone, you are the fucking asshole here.
Very few people expect anyone to deal savage level DPS in a dungeon. People who post threads like the one you linked just want you to carry your weight.
We can assure you that there ARE people who DO expect you to dish that very level of damage in a DF dungeon, and who ARE very arrogant and sometimes have the manners of prepubescent brats. These people ARE assholes, no matter how many guides the rest of the party have or have not read.
I actually reported a couple of such people. It was a Vault run, and we were actually doing fine, getting through the content, and then one of a pair, who wasn't doing anywhere near as well as he'd like to believe, starting rattling off how much the others in the party sucked, and how good they were, when if they'd been half as good as they were claiming, we'd have ALL had a cakewalk run. They got nasty about it, too, but made the mistake of announcing that they were parsing the fight.
I have some decent tolerance for stupidity (I used to be a teacher, a job incompatible with the urge to tell stupid people the truth about themselves), but when you're going to be abusive AND hypocritical, AND stupid enough to admit that you're using a parser in a game forbidding it, then I'm sorry, karma itself demands you get screencapped and reported.
