But still, nobody has told me yet what was so rude about my post. How do you expect me to fix my behavior if you don't explain me what was wrong about it? “You're rude.” “well, how exactly?”

You haven't made it clear that you sincerely want to know. It takes a lot of time and energy to respond to a question like that—I'd guess a couple orders of magnitude more than it costs to post the question.
The risk/reward of giving you a sincere answer is very different if your goal is to become a good HN contributor vs. merely continue an argument which interests no one. If you want people to answer, you need to show that it won't be a waste of their investment to do so.
