You are asking the respondent why they are "so adamant" about a claim they've 
never made. That is a logical fallacy and rhetorical dirty trick known as the 
"straw man" argument.

What? What star? What are you talking about? What does that have to do with 
Java or Javascript? That comment seems so random and non-sequiturish. And why 
are you so aggrieved about whatever a "simple star" is?

And thus you descend into simple trolldom. How is that a helpful remark, 
"Richard"?
