Only when they ignore or argue with the person theyve asked for help.

If you're going to do that, you can flail on your own.

I have a saying "I wasn't asking you to do that, I was telling you to do it". If they don't respect it, they don't get help.

That's an excellent point. Not technology, but people ask me for tips on playing golf. I tell them what I think they need to correct and how to do it. And they start arguing with me. And I'm like I don't care if you play like shit, you ASKED ME for help.
