When some new poster asks questions, even pretty basic questions, and he responds, more often than not, met with a condescending, holier than thou attitude, do you really think that is going to foster dialog, learning, camaraderie and cooperation? Do you think that they'll stick around and listen? Or go away? I'd bet he's run more people off with his approach than anything else here. As good as this site is and as useful as it can be, it will not help anyone who is ridiculed and run off.

He also can't stick to discussing the point. When someone doesn't bow to his opinion, he resorts to calling names or saying the others stupid. Such behaviors are typical of someone who can't compose a decent argument and can only rely on such tactics to divert the discussion from the merits.
