Quote - To all the gurus here that post everywhere and assume that everyone else knows nothing- great you are poser masters, but you assume that everyone else is stupid and you are all knowing, this is your downfall, and makes for a hostile environment here.  Why do you do this?

I don't think anyone posting here would be comfortable describing themselves as a 'guru', neither do I think that anyone has a superiority complex. Debates get heated and some name-calling goes on. Then things calm down and the debate goes on. Constructively.

Sometimes what someone with knowledge perceives as blindingly obvious is not, to those without that knowledge. That can be desperately frustrating for all concerned: the 'expert' who can't get the message across, the non-expert who can't get a handle on what is being presented.

There are real experts here in diverse fields and they're trying to give us all the benefit of their experience. For free. I, for one, am grateful to them. I see no reason why they should make extraordinary efforts to be super-polite and 'sensitive' while they're doing this.

Is it this that you perceive as hostility? Is failing to understand what's being said making you feel that the 'expert' thinks you're stupid? They don't! I can't see anything in your angry-sounding post that tallies with my experience in these forums, and talk of some sort of 'downfall' is just baffling.
