I am never contemptuous of newbies for showing their ignorance by
posting questions--everyone was once ignorant of everything;
everyone, myself included,  remains perpetually ignornant of almost
everything. I do frequently express annoyance at newbies' seeking help
in the wrong forum.  For example, I don't think that this list is  the
right place to seek tutoring on elementary math topics for which there
exist myriad textbooks and courses that everyone ought to have taken
before setting out to do 3D applications.

What sets off my "flamethrower", as you put it, is when people post,
with an air of authority, wildly incorrect responses to the newbies'
earnest questions.  It seems to me that unless you are certain in your
heart that your answer is correct, helpful, or interesting, you should
keep quiet.  Posting  wrong answers with an air of authority makes you
fair game for chastisement.
