Funny, I get the impression that we're here to teach, and he's here to
learn, not that we're all here to learn together. And he seems to feel we're
somehow oblligated to teach, when he wants on his terms.

Because that's what he was doing, of course.

Here's a hint: if you don't get what you want the first time, insulting and
yelling at people isn't a good way to get what you want, either.
