I think you should try being less of a dick in general. It happens to me too, as I get easily offended, however what I noticed is that if you want to educate people, it is far better to do it with well reasoned and nicely phrased arguments. Few people get away with being dicks, like Linus or Jobs, but that only happens for people that earned respect and credibility. Incidentally this is why I prefer HN for the moment. The comments on Reddit tend to get too negative and full of insults. Anonymity is a doubly edged sword, sometimes bringing out the worst in people.
