Ad hominem attacks, especially ones without visible basis, are bad
argument and do not make for good discussion. (Or good neighbors.)

That's odd, considering you've thanked me multiple times for providing
detailed explanations for things.
Regardless, I'm not claiming to have provided "awesome" answers. I'm
saying that the answers you described as "awesome", which you received
elsewhere, are not ones to which I would apply that term.

I think that says more about you than it does about the answers you've
received here.

Not necessarily; I don't know them, or who they are, or what they know.

You've appeared to pay attention to what I had to say in the past...
And yes, I could explain in detail what each component of both of those
commands does - although I wouldn't be sure you'd understand the
explanation, since I don't know what you already know.
There wouldn't be much point to my doing so, however, since the goal is
for *you* to learn. (Not to be taught,
but to learn - the difference
being that the latter involves more actual study.)
Reading commands like that is not a good way to learn, unless you
already know a fair amount about the subject.
People have tried to point you to resources which *could* help you
learn, even if you don't already know much about the subject. I don't
intend to speculate on the reasons, but it doesn't seem to have done any
good.

I'm OK, though not necessarily great, at helping someone who wants to
learn. In fact, I often like doing it.
I'm not particularly good at, or particularly interested in, helping
someone who isn't interested in learning - and the overall impression I
get from the total body of your posts to this list so far is that you
are not particularly interested in learning, rather than in just getting
a single answer (and then another, and then another).
(Also, "good pontificator"? While I might be, I'm not sure where I've
been pontificating here lately, or necessarily here at all...)
