How To Ask Questions the Smart Way

[JVN]

Thanks for sharing Brandon.

My new favorite quote:

Remember: When that veteran tells you that you've screwed up, and (no matter how gruffly) tells you not to do it again, he's acting out of concern for:

(1) You
(2) His community.

It would be much easier for him to ignore you and filter you out of his life. If you can't manage to be grateful, at least have a little dignity, don't whine, and don't expect to be treated like a fragile doll just because you're a newcomer with a theatrically hypersensitive soul and delusions of entitlement.

It should be noted that the articles Brandon linked do contain some profanity, but not in overly bad form.
