I find that far more rude than suggesting another Debian based distro which is, by design, easier on those new to Linux and/or Debian in general.
I'm sure that no rudeness was intended. Nobody told him not to install Opera. I think the gist was that as the Mozilla stuff is in Debian, it would be easier to install, not to mention a good intro to apt.
