Let's pretend you have a clear mountain spring. The water is delicious and refreshing. You tell all your friends.

Now you have a popular clear mountain spring. The water is delicious and refreshing. Your friends tell all their friends.

Now you have a poppin' clear mountain spring. The water is clear. Your friends' friends tell their friends who tell their friends who tell their friends.

Now you have the Ganges River.

Yes, "filter what you see" and it's still water. But we didn't have to filter it before you came along. Thus, the insult: you aren't asking a question, you're picking a fight. Every response you get you come back with a rejoinder. It's not like we've been exactly mute on the subject and if you wanted to learn, rather than box, it would have been simple.

There's a deeply-seated disappointment in Reddit around here. When you question it repeatedly, without listening to the answers, some of it will rub off on you.
