Going through your post I can deduce that you are getting some misconception about the forum, of course every professional was once a newbie, every professor was also once a student, I understand that maybe you've been talked down upon by some members, but believe me that is not the models operandi of this great forum, as most members are here to always give you a guideline once you ask the appropriate question on this forum, so if anybody might have attacked your comment don't take it to heart as that is human nature naturally for you, rather you should take a lift from those that have answered the question give asked appropriately.
I love your response to the OP and I hope he take note of the important advice in this post to help him grow in the forum, just like you stated, we're humans after all and it's in the nature of some humans to be full of criticism. However the OP shouldn't be discouraged by that but rather should pick out the sense they're try to make and disregard the words of discouragement they reply to him, just like my dad would always tell me, in every nonsense there's a sense, just key in to the sense and disregard the rest.
Every member of the forum, from the Brand-new to the Legendary and down to the Moderators of different boards were ones a newbie before they grew to the level they're currently, we're all here to learn and also give out our valuable opinions to help the forum grow, therefore do not be discouraged or frustrated by Critics when you try to give out your opinions, I'm sure there are members who give listening ears to the handful informations you give out and make good use of it.
