It has nothing to do with abusing beginners, and everything about helping people who are actually willing to learn versus those that just want someone to do the work done for them, because the reality is there isn't enough of experts' time available to do both. You've more or less completely ignored what I've said, and are just sticking to your preconceived notions about some stereotype you've ascribed to me. It's rather hypocritical that you regard yourself highly enough as a moral authority to tell strangers on the Internet to "Be a better person", while calling them an "elitist asshole".

I'm quite happy to never encounter someone who can't put together an intellectually honest argument and instead resorts to straw man arguments, appeals to authority, and ad hominem attacks. You can label me an asshole all you want, but I'll let your own words speak as to what type of person you are.
