This kind of childish immaturity, even a lack of simple decency, is very
typical of Mr Zeleny. 

Someone may or may not like certain textbooks; similarly someone
may or may not find a particular proof difficult.  However, suggesting
as Mr Zeleny did that someone should consider a change of carrer is a
personal insult on an entirely different plane.
