If I may speak vaguely and without reference to any specific incident: I have the sense that "Be tolerant of others who may not know everything you know." should be in my copy/paste buffer while I read math.stackexchange.com. I wish that weren't the case.

Reading FAQ topics including etiquette, howtoask, dontask, and bounty, I still imagine that there's room to address the following interrelated concerns better:

• An "original poster" (OP) is wasting the community's time!
• How might I respond gracefully to a question that is badly posed?
• How might I pose my question better?
• This comment's (or answer's) sophistication is condescending!
• This comment (or answer) is flippant toward the OP!
