Just a help rant

Nothing to do with this board.
I have spent well over 10 years helping thousands of people with their computer problems, for free. Any time I have a question, no matter how simple, I get rude and snobby responses back. I only ask for help after I have tested and researched and tried just about every thing I know how to do. I give a well researched paragraph and the problem and appropriate pleases and thank yous.
I was banned from the dolphin forums after I asked why performance on Mac OS plummeted as of the 5.0 release. They told me "use windows" and I told them, no I want to fix the problem myself so I can use it on Mac OS. They told me, use windows. They treated me like I was an angry customer and not a fellow developer and enthusiast. I offered to fix the problem by coding a metal backend (the problem ended up being needing opengl 4.5). Eventually I got rude and I did earn the ban, but that was my choice after they treated me like crap.
I asked a simple question about an iPhone problem and was told to ask someone else. I went to where they specified to ask and was told to ask someone else. Eventually I lost patience and told them to just not answer if they didn't have anything helpful to say.
Maybe I am just a selfish jerk, but I always used a lot of effort to find and reproduce problems and reply with well researched answers, at least until I finally burned out. I think maybe I deserve the same. Arrrrgh.
