I think I partly recognize the feeling and the situation you're alluding to, but still: if you're not willing to post substantive information, it's best not to comment. Posting a vague and provocative allusion and then refusing to answer normal requests for clarification doesn't help the discussion here.

That sounds like the "not my job to educate you" mentality.

If they are the one complaining about something yes it is their job to educate from basic communication alone. No matter how frustrating it may be forcing others into playing a game of Mao is not reasonable.

FYI, I upvoted your initial comment, but downvoted this one.

Please don't cross into being personally aggressive no matter how annoying another comment is or feels.
