Sir respectfully, in my opinion, aggression is not : 
me_kid: "mom ... someone aggressed me at school today."
mom: "what, he showed you a finger, he told you names, what.!?"
me_kid: "no, he asked me to specify... in writings"

"Because steel is a mixture of iron and carbon, it will definitely rust." 
(https://www.apx-enclosures.com/apx-blog/metals-that-dont-rust#:~:text=Because%20steel%20is%20a%20mixture,more%20chromium%20content%2C%20the%20better.)

I guess my real point was, the guy is willing to take the heat, bluntly asking questions I definitely share. 
At this point, who am I to judge some internet tough-love?
