I am only trying to pass on information that will educate others as to what is happening in the process.

Perhaps you could try a different style. Like, saying "Here is what I know. Use at your own discretion." And then, like, leave it. If it's as good as you say, it shouldn't require cudgeling readers' heads.

When the expected questions come in, you could either answer them or explain where to find the answers in the piece that you posted.

Surely you've been here long enough to get that none of us like being spoken down to, or being bossed around. And you've noticed that we respond to berating in a like manner.

I personally have noticed that when someone posts here with the "I'm the smartest person in this room" attitude, some of us take great sport in poking holes in the balloon of faux genius that surrounds the "smartest" people.

I fully expect you to reply by telling me I wasn't in the original conversation (yeah, but I watched it) or that I shouldn't dictate style to you (I'm one of your readers. A good poster is concerned with the effectiveness of their writing. A good writer makes sure his message has been sent and received effectively. (BTW, yours didn't because of the overriding stench of "superior smugness" which surrounded it).

Nutshell.

Did you ask me something concerning politics, supreme court, constitution, state legislative matters? If you did I must have missed it.

If you didn’t ask or provide a contribution on these subject matters, then we have nothing to discuss. Kindly take your focus elsewhere.
