I can remind me of many times when I found that you did not respond to
anything I asked for or wanted to discuss in a thread, but repeatedly
found small unimportant things to to criticize, without caring that your
criticism was totally unaccounted for and most often totally wrong,
repeatedly answered as if you hadn't read the thread or even the full
sentence you reacted to, had long condescending lessons about things you
know that I already know, started long totally unrelated discussions,
tried to use some small detail to invalidate my total argumentation...
I could go on forever.
Here is another victim of this friendly and caring behavior:
"I feel that I have the right to treat it as unnecessary"

Personally, I tend to air reviewing of basics a lot because I find
reviewing basics a useful exercise for myself. I am occasionally
surprised when the rare individual reminds me that some people take
that as indicating hostile and/or negative intent. (But, in my
experience, *any* activity or expression will have someone who takes
that as indicating hostile and/or negative intent. So, technically
speaking, I suppose I should not be surprised.)
