Your attempt to understand these people's motivations seems to assume that these people understand that you don't know the answer. Another possible motivation is that they think the explanation is obvious or common knowledge, and hence you must be asking to antagonize them, not out of actual ignorance. Not to say that I don't think some people's motivation really is the one you've stated - they simply enjoy being in control of people.
If you're talking about my complaints about the forum, that's not the case. One time, numerous people asked for clarification from this person about which kinds of behavior that person was asking others to stop, so the person clearly knew it was an issue that the others didn't know exactly which behavior was being criticized.
That person eventually resorted to, "I'll tell you when I don't like it, as will a few people I've selected."
18 months later, he/she agreed his/her preferences were not typical.
I will provide the documentation privately if you wish, but I have no desire to start this publicly.
