or did the poster make you go to google to find out?

I'm asking for common courtesy to explain what the hell these acronyms are.

YES! I'm wound tight. I'm hating the right & the MSM right now.

I'm asking for clarification of these abbreviations that SOME people think all of us should be able to pull out of outer space.

Please. Just explain WTF you are talking about. Please, is that too much to ask?

And to doublecheck, I read the link as “Facebook.com/doctorswithoutborders” and knew for a fact the poster was referring to Médecins Sans Frontières, sometimes rendered in English as Doctors Without Borders, an international humanitarian medical non-governmental organisation of French origin.

Sounds like you had a very different experience.

Some acronyms are widely known or easily found and certainly not worth your level of vituperation.

1) Look it up. If you don't know it, looking it up will anchor it in your memory.

2) If you can't find it, ask simply without igniting the flamethrower first as step 1.

Don't lose the determination, but if you hold the emotion it is toxic to you neuro-endocrinology.

In any case you don't need to vent your emotions by lashing out at fellow DUs, progressives, and Democrats.
