Had you made any attempt to learn -- in this case, learn the social norms or mores of this site -- it would undoubtedly been more fun... and certainly would have demonstrated your respect for the people whom you're asking for help.

In fact, learning the social norms is what more toddlers are expected to do -- especially when joining a new group -- like daycare, pre-school, kindergarten, Cub Scouts or Brownies. (They're also discouraged from throwing tantrums. See "shoes that fit" et cetera.)

And you might wish to consider who derailed the conversation. Hint: it was not the Monk who posted links to documents which -- if "difficult to understand" -- are pre-requisites for many projects you may wish to undertake nor was it the Monk who referred you to a very clear statement of what this site is about and how those visiting here can participate (which is to some extent like blending-in) successfully, but it may be the Novice with 14 writeups over more than a year who (despite ample opportunity to understand our norms) went -- in the space of less than 30 minutes from the author of an inappropriate but pleasant node to the raving boor (troll?) who posted the first grandchild.

And lest I forget, many if not most of the Monastery's denizens earn their living by writing code. Why would you feel free to be rude to those who offer to help but not to donate the freebie you asked for?
