Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

An indignant rhetorical question. Asking who this person is, as though advice were an insult, shows how little the speaker expects to be instructed. The disdain lives in the phrasing: the adviser is treated as an unknown nuisance rather than someone worth answering.
