>I can simply tell you to piss off. I'm not entitled to receive an education from you and you're not entitled to have me not write stupid things.
The difference is that I'm not asking you to not write stupid things, but you ask me to explain things to you.
>So you want something out of me
That would be projection. You want something out of other people (an explanation), whereas we want you to get something for yourself.
We get absolutely nothing if you learn more about the subject you opine on. You will.
>I can simply tell you to piss off.
