More inaccurate nonsense. The next time you are right will be the first time. 8.4 didn't even exist in 2012. It was released June 9, 2013 and it is still supported. Assuming this is a typo and you meant release 8.3, you're still wrong. It was released in April 2012 and the EOL was 30 April 2014. May 5 2014 is after 30 April 2014 (it's true, believe me). For that matter, May 2014 is 1.5 years after September 2012 so is your point breakage about 1.5 years is bad? You are being ridiculed because you're a boor and consistently wrong, which is not a good combination. The previous accusations don't look far off the mark.
