Apparently you are not even remotely self-aware of your patronizing tone. I really don't know what you are trying to fish for here but I am well familiar with the HN rules, I just wish you took the time to read them ;)

Thank you that's helpful feedback! I certainly didn't intend to be patronizing.

It took a bit of restraint to look past what felt like a personal insult and extract the useful part of your comment though. In the future it would have been a lot better as just a simple informative statement that assumes good faith:

Which rules would you like me to read? Can you either provide more information, or give a link and section header so I can know what specifically you're referring to?
