I agree with you, so I guess there are some necessary guidelines. 1) You should almost always learn from someone face to face. Whether it is in person or over Google Hangout, personal interaction lays down a baseline of respect. Yes I am implying internet forums are not the place to learn (and the irony of saying that here.) 2) Don't waste their time. Defend what you believe until you've learned why you're wrong (if you are), but don't be a dick. It is really about starting a conversation and learning efficiently. Lob 100 softball questions at an expert and they can give you dictionary answers. Or really challenge them and you can get a framework for their entire understanding of a broader volume of knowledge.
