This is a perfect example of inadequate grammar making something hilarious. Commas save lives, bro. Think on that.
As to the question. Epochalyptik is a busy man who dedicates a great deal of his time to this community and we are grateful for it. I'm sure that this could've easily been avoided if you had actually read the rules and/or took the time to think before you posted. As such, it'd probably be best for you to change your tone. Calling out mods has historically been a horrible idea.

If you read around, he's a pretty cool guy, and he contributes a lot of knowledge and time to the site. Imagine having to correct all the noob mistakes everyday, you'd put in the direct, blunt answer as it's faster and lets you move on. He's just a direct guy. Also if he's upset at someone, I've never seen it undeserved.

Ignorance of MTG rules is all well and good and is the reason this section exists, but that does not extend to excusing an obstinate refusal to read and understand. It'd be one thing if you'd at least bothered to start linking your cards (which, by the way, if you still need help doing so you should check out the Formatting Tips page here).
Misusing the Q&A section to call people names is great though. That'll win those hearts and minds and show everyone what a thoughtful misunderstood person you are.

Sorry, it appears the linking feature is having a bit of a time with the brackets. Here's the link: http://tappedout.net/help-desk/formatting/

Thread preserved and moved for hilarity.
Ignorance of the rules is forgivable once.
After you've been told how things work, we expect you to follow the rules.
While this site is largely about the community atmosphere, there are still guidelines and rules that everyone has to follow. Typically, they're to make sure the site is logistically feasible. I hate moving threads and solving inane problems because it's time that could be better spent providing meaningful advice or other help, but couldn't be because someone didn't care enough to do something properly.
If you take the extra five minutes up front to learn the rules (ask about the site in the TappedOut subforum) and the extra ten seconds to follow them while posting, you'll find that the community will be receptive and helpful. Ignore the rules and most of the users will ignore you back. I assume you don't want to waste your own time here, so it's best to play along.

I don't see how he was a dick to you. he informed you of the rules to make life on this site much easier. if you had a problem with him, you should have gone to him to deal with it. nobody here wants to hear about your problems. after all, you have only been here for a day and you are already being rude.

Ahaha I thought this was a troll thread where he was saying something along the lines of "I'm the new asshole in these parts". This is great

Read it in a Russian accent. It gets funnier. To op, you done goofed. Epoch is literally the second most important person on this site. He deals with more innane, dull bullshit than anyone ever here. Without him, our threads would be a scattered mess. You really have 0 right to complain. If you don't like being told how we do things here, the doors wide open bud.

Epoch is a pretty cool guy, if you're able to follow basic instructions.

I fuck up in the forums on an almost regular basis, but usually my word choice in my posts save me...
What can I say? It's part of my charm.

No, he's not a dick. He's always trying to help, and he just happens to be straightforward and to the point, without much patience for foolishness.

Trolololol tappedout has been taking an interesting turn the last couple days.

@VampireArmy - I did the exact same thing, reading it in a Russian accent. Absolutely hilarious.

@VampireArmy
Comrade in Russian is 'Tovarish', if you wanted to know. Multipul comrades would be 'Tovarishi'

Maybe T/O should require an IQ test for membership. Not really, but seriously...the fuck has been happening around here the past week? Troll-threads abound. LMFAO

Link your cards, or at least anything involved in your question ... Epochalyptik
Since this question has nothing to do with Magic, it should have been posted elsewhere, so proper questions regarding rules could be answered.
