I would think that for a website like this to be successful, the population would overlook the usual pratfalls of newbies. People don't react well to sarcasm - and they certainly don't change based on sarcasm. If that's your modus operandi, then don't be surprised that people react badly and continue the behavior you find objectionable.
Couldn't have said it any better. Thank you.

Threads like this reflect badly on the forum.
