One of the most annoying things I see is users answering questions on a subject that they have no or very little knowledge of. If I were posting a question and had a WAG (Wild Ass Guess) response, I would find it hard to be polite but I have to admire the professionalism shown by the user asking the question.

That's OK. Just strange that you admire the restraint of the annoyed, affronted question asker rather than the plucky answerer who tried with a WAG. I view "impoliteness" to the answerer as a form of abuse. Like I understated before the subject asker was a bit more than impolite to the guy who was trying to help him and after a few branches it turned into abuse. :-)
