Thing is, it's never like you just have to educate one person and then it's okay. It's kind of constant, and sometimes you just can't be arsed to talk about it. Esp. on the internet when Google is right there. Doubly especially when you're just trying to have a conversation with people who already know about the subject, and somebody pops up demanding basic information and the whole thread ends up being about educating them again. 101-type stuff is useful, but sometimes you want to move beyond it.

I think it's helpful to educate people, I like to do it when I'm in the mood, but I don't think you should be obliged to.

Nobody is obliged to do anything, but if you refuse to explain your reasoning to someone who clearly doesn't know what you mean, you lose the right to be surprised that they don't know what you mean.
