If no one asked for your advice, just be quiet.

All in all, it's the elitists who started it. We won't be having this conversation if toxic behavior in dungeons didn't happen.
The problem imo is that elitists are always framed as hypotheticals. Seeing a wild elitist in nature is very rare, so anytime they're brought up they're made increasingly abstract. The more abstract they become the less relevant the conversation is to anything that will ever really happen. Flash forward through 20 pages of forum replies and you basically have people saying "Being rude is bad" and nodding at each other confidently, comfortable in the knowledge that they are the harbingers of justice and morality in an otherwise cruel and unfair world.

Also, why is giving advice bad? If someone's not open to it I won't push the issue, but if I see em doing something wrong I'll give em some tips.

Your last line is something I'd be hesitant to proclaim with confidence. It's basically a chicken/egg problem that predates this game (heck, predates gaming entirely in a vague enough sense) by quite a bit. It's a fine opinion, but I wouldn't use it as something axiomatic to form an argument out of.
