That's cool. I'd be annoyed if someone pestered me with questions they could've found in a book or online just because they do better "engaging in a dialogue", though.

[(Anonymous)]

Then... Apparently it's not cool...

[(Anonymous)]

No. It's fine if one method works well for an individual. It's not so cool if the individual expects everyone to accommodate them when the individual is the one asking a favor, i.e. for help with research. For example, it's cool if someone likes peanut butter. I don't like peanut butter, but I don't care if other people love it. But it's not cool for someone to knock on my door and demand that I eat some because peanut butter is a cheap protein source that works for them.

Then it's not cool.

I'm sorry my learning techniques aren't convenient for you. But, hey, those of us who don't learn like you should sit down and shut up and just PRETEND to learn like you.

[(Anonymous)]

I'll think you'll find that learning from books is also learning, even if it's not your preferred approach.

Do people ask you for advice on a regular basis?

[(Anonymous)]

Does it matter when we're clearly talking about hypothetical situations here? I'm happy to help people when I can, but my time is limited. If someone has a question that can easily be answered by spending five minutes Googling, then I'd prefer to spend my time helping someone who has a question that can't be answered by Googling.

It's kind of baffling how many people in this thread get deeply offended at suggestions that people ought to learn how to do basic research for themselves. That's a really useful skill that you'll be able to use the rest of your life, why not learn?

[arcadiaego]

I can't see anyone being offended at that. Gaiman's OP was worried they would look weird for doing the research.
