This is soooooo important. So many people don't understand that it works both ways: everytime you're happy you won a pot it reinforces the idea that you should feel like total shit when you lose a pot.

The fact that you judge the person who replies as being an ass stems from the fact that your ego is attached! If your ego was not attached, you would see that he answered your question and would provide a basis for you to ask further questions. However, since your ego is attached, you have the reaction to think that "if [the person replying is] not going to help the person play it better next time do not post," when it's your personal issues that are causing you to miss the lesson presented in the moment.

Being offended by the reply to a post is an attack on the ego. If your ego isn't attached, you can't be offended by the reply to a post, period.
