% values that don't add up

You're welcome. Not only are you clueless, you're also ungrateful.

You ask these dumb ass questions and when you get the answer, you call the guy who helps you out a terrible person.

Even when you get the correct answers, you stubbornly ask the same question over again, wording it in the same exact way as if you're going to all of the sudden get a better answer.



Then you wonder why I lose my patience...

When someone is learning, they are bound to ask the same question multiple times in multiple different ways. The best way to teach someone is to accept that there are no stupid questions and that you are going to repeat yourself multiple times.

I suspect that most people assume you're a smart guy, but can't understand a thing you say.

And I don't belittle people for not understanding the first, second, or third time.

Well you have a lot of patience. After years (starting 2009 here) of only 2 or 3 people getting it, I'm out of patience. He will never understand. I promise you. He's not even worth the time imo other than to stop from confusing everyone else.

It's not just that he doesn't get it. He already knows he's right, and just want someone to confirm things for himself. That's why he keeps asking the same questions. The premise of the questions are flawed. He attempts to clarify his questions because he assumes the correct answers are false and just won't accept them. If that's the case, why ask the questions in the first place? He must already know the answers. All the power to you if you can tolerate that, but I'm getting tired of all these flunkies. If you argue with the teacher and don't listen, you will get an F on the test.

When you take your approach, people will like you more and treat you as a respected authority, but they will never understand a word you say. I can tell who has the potential to eventually succeed and who's a complete waste of everyone's time.

As it was going, It would have took him 20 rude and vague attempts to explain it in a way you done with one, so knowledge and teaching clearly don't go hand in hand. It was mostly understood first time as well, so hopefully your post may help others too. Still think you should post it separate as a possible sticky guide since his intolerance, rudeness and inability of teaching probably drowned out your post.

It's fine when MisterBlah and Flowki are rude, but when someone actually has the right answer that isn't in the form of a wall of text, he's not allowed to be rude. I suppose you're beyond all that.

It's not just about the right answer. That's what we're trying to get you to understand. When someone doesn't have the same background as you do, you can't expect them to understand the first time every time. Often times, the answer to the question asked isn't even the information the person was looking for. When you aren't an expert in the field and you are just starting out, you are not going to ask the right questions. It's great the answer a specific question, but we aren't professionals, and because of that, we are all going to ask the wrong questions a lot.
