I am getting really sick and tired of people trying to impose their elitist mindset on people who simply ask a question.
That being said, these forums are littered with moronic mouth-breathers who cannot just answer the damn question. Instead, answer someone’s question with a question of their own. They ask, “Why”. Who care’s Why? They don’t even bother to answer it and then ask why that person needs to know. They just ask why as if they have some profound insight into the situation and know that the person asking the original question is wasting everyone’s time.
If you don’t know the answer, or don’t want to help, shut up and get off the forums you simple-minded plebeian. It is not your place to ask why, only to give the answer the person is looking for or keep your mouth shut.
Innocent Poster: “How do you move a file from one folder to another?”
Elitist Prick: “Why would you want to do that?”
Me: “It doesn’t matter why you fucking idiot. Just answer the man or go die in a hole. By the way, just drag and drop it.”
Innocent Poster: “Thanks.”
I'm sure I don't frequent the boards you're on but when I ask why I'm always trying to find out if the user has a shotgun strapped to their foot. If they do then I try to show them a better way to get the job done which usually has little to do with their original, moronic, idea.
