I guess the question is which comes first?

Do mentors get ground down by constant rejection of help and rudeness? Or does their contempt for weaker players cause them to offer help in an abrasive manner, and that is the cause of the rejection?

I honestly don't know the answer to that, but imagine that like everything else in games and life, some mentors are better than others.
