I am not offended. I just think you are just wasting everybody's time and have a misplaced sense of entitlement.
Why should I spend time on "proving you wrong" or "showing you what I have"?
Who are you to judge what is useful or not, how other people should spend their time and resources? If you are not a hacker that is fine. Just "prove to us" you are good at something (anything!) before making such outlandish requests asking other people to change how they work to satisfy your notions of what is proper.
If a hacker wants to work on a webOS (to use your example) it is no one's business but his own. If you have some inchoate desires on how you'd like the internet to function, and you can't do anything about it and are not willing to pay anyone to do it, its just too bad.
"hey Wall Street Investment Bankers, I don't think you provide any value to me by working on exotic derivatives. I don't understand how they work or why you spend time on them. Please stop what you are doing and work on balancing my bank account and pay my credit card bills for me and persuade my bank to give me more money"
Bozo alert! Other people don't exist to satisfy your desires or work towards your vision of what the world should be. You might be able to get other people to work towards what you want if you offer something in exchange - money, skills etc. In the absence of having anything to exchange, you are just babbling into the wind.
Demanding that someone work in a style that seems perfect to you (when you admittedly know nothing about what they are working on or what the issues are) seems to be .... suboptimal.

I don't know you, and honestly after today, your username won't remind me much, but all I was doing was asking you guys to help. Now you can look at the first layer and say "Oh just another ignorant one", or you can say "What can I learn from this post"? The answer will be "Am I doing something useful?" or "Do I really need to write a script that reads a post and knows to send it to me or trash it or block the username forvever?" and that would be building what I ask you to? Not Demand, Not Forced, But asked. At the end, seriously, I got love for all hackers. I trully do, but if that means I can't be honest and straight with you guys then it certainly means I was wrong in the first place.
