As I am seeing it, it's not the desire to help that is the issue (certainly not what I would take issue to) but the approach. As a teacher, I can tell you there's a huge difference between, "I'm going to teach you whether you like it or not", and "Let me help you to deepen your understanding about things." First and foremost... you can't force knowledge on someone who doesn't want it and coming at it aggressively like that only serves to put people off.
