I have put some thought into this...
There are plenty of dumb questions that get asked on this forum, and when I catch them, I have responded the same way every time: read the book. It only becomes a problem when someone gets 'offended' by that. At that point, I point out why to read the book. I am not being rude. I am saying: read the book, think by yourself.

There's nothing rude about it. When I say Oi, read the book, I am not saying anything else.
