Pushing ridiculous anecdotal proof in the form of your own ability or that you have received XXX certification and therefore your advice must be best is the height of ignorance.

Youre absolutely right. Anecdotal advice in the form of professional validation or personal accomplishment is trumped by your claim of elite knowledge..... (a claim that of course exists without such validation or personal record)...niiiiiiiiiice

You have also made no comment as to the issue of tone which I think is more important. That regardless of what you say, and again to restate I find myself agreeing with you on most topics, you say it incredibly poorly and in a way to degrade beginners.
