    Anything can be learned online, with enough drive and determination

    But if you're that powerful: why bother learning from others? You could simply leave and create your own community called name's Gulch.

      No sorry, that's just fundamentally false. You can't just learn titration techniques from watching a video. You can't learn phlebotomy without an instructor watching you do it to a patient. Hell, you aren't learning how to drive a car from playing a video game.

      And I'm not sure where you are pulling the "if you are that powerful" from. You really have an ax to grind don't you.
