Exactly. You are obviously very knowledgeable but the manner in which you provide that knowledge is off-putting at best and arrogant at the least. It gets to the point where reading your answers to peoples questions, while technically sound, are so annoying that I would rather not have had your answer in the first place. You may feel that it's ok to demean people (either directly or indirectly) as long as you are answering their question, but it's not and it makes this list a much less useful resource as a result.
