Childish, I don't know. Rude, probably. Sarcasm, clearly. Was
this person's life damaged? No. This person is smart enough to
operate a computer, and can read and write, so probably he/she
has the ability to understand sarcasm just fine. If not, then
will he/she be able to distinguish fact from fiction presented
as fact?

Look at some realities here. This person, who expresses all
kinds of troubles, is roaming the internet looking for the RIGHT
CHAT ROOM to solve their problems. Is this really a good plan?
Has this person derived any meaningful benefit from the
reponses? What distinguishes the RIGHT chat room from the WRONG
chat room? What would 'help' even look like? Is sarcasm an
invalid means of expressing an opinion? You certainly figured it
out.

Would it have been more 'objective'and helpful to say something
like this:

Your writing suggests to me that you may not be rational. I
think seeking solutions at a website designed by lawyers to
troll for plaintiffs is a bad idea and you should reconsider
your approach. I suggest you consider that the vast majority of
public health authorities doubt that MCS is real. While this
fact may trouble you, and may upset those with contrary
opinions, it remains a reality. And, dear writer, because of
this reality, you are potentially dealing with those on the
fringes, some of whom may be seeking to exploit you.

Well, reading through it, I think you're right. The 'objective'
approach is probably better than the sarcastic approach. Do you
prefer this style?
