Normally when someone asks the question "don't you know who I am?" it comes across as pretentious and snotty. Sometimes though the question is absolutely warranted, especially online when people do not actually know who they are talking to. These days everyone has social media, so who is going to see your posts is really up in the air, it could be anyone. That's why making claims and criticisms can be risky if you aren't 100% certain about it, because the real expert could be right in front of you. That's what happened to these unfortunate folks.
