So many people hear about bitcointalk forum from friends, families, internet and so on they where not given the full details of the Dos and Don'ts (the rules of the forum) of the forum. they where only told about the juicy parts of the forum because of that they are excited to join without making deep research.
You're right. Some are not given guidelines by their 'referees', but what about those newbies who come here with those ' I'm a newbie' threads? That after they are kindly supplied the list of do's and don'ts of the forum but still end up effing up?
Secondly, how can you understand how a thing operates of you don't at least make your findings about the thing? Supposing here was like an electronic device, are you saying they will look past the instructions on how to operate it and just go straight?.
Sometimes, people tend to generalize things and if you are asked to give an instance where you were "attacked" I don't think you'd be able to. Again, you feel they are being attacked because of the tone at which a higher member may have used, but then you won't blame them because sometimes these noobs ask way too obvious questions and its as if they want to be spoonfed every step of the way. Even you would agree that it gets tiring sometimes.
