Because it's about YOUR behavior toward inexperienced learners in the Indian subcontinent and elsewhere who can't easily work with the parts that you're always promoting.

You always ignore their complaints that they can't get the parts you think they should use, and, since they are asking about how to do what they want to do with the parts that they want to use, they're not interested in your favorite bleeding-edge technology. Much of the time, they're given an assignment, since they're students, and, yes, they're often trying to get someone else to do their work so they can play, but sometimes, as well, they just want a little help. It's not helpful to tell them they are trying to do something that's wrong in itself, e.g. interface an LCD via the 8255 on their old-technogy 805x board. They often have a DIP-40 or PLCC-44 MCU on board, so recommending they change to an SMT part doesn't help them. They often don't have the resources to replace half of what is already on hand. Nevertheless, YOU insist on telling them what they probably already know, namely that there may be other ways of doing what they're supposed to do. Listening to your rants won't get their work done by Tuesday next, though.

It's about you and your constant pontification, without regard for what's been asked.

You won't discuss the technical issues, but, rather concentrate on vague and derogatory remarks. You bring up examples, which, on close examination, are irrelevant. It's about you, Erik. There's nothing general about YOU. When you're asked aobut something general, you bring up irrelevant specifics. When you're asked about something specific, you revert to irrelevant generalities. When you're challenged about your examples, you hide behind the cloak of "proprietary information." While that may be necessary, you should consider it before bringing up an example.

If you'd stop spewing all the, at most, partially true and partially correct pseudo-advice, exhorting people who clearly can't readily take your advice to spend more money and use things to which they don't have ready access, and to do things that require more time, e.g. delivery time, than they have available, you'd see little complaint from me.

If you'd answer the questions asked rather than "telling them how to build a clock," and base your comments on your presumably extensive experience, rather than on conjecture, and if you'd simply remain "silent" rather than going on and on about things with which you've had little experience, it would be vastly more helpful to everyone.
