The disparaging cheese.
Once upon-a-time there was a cheese that lived in a small box filled with straw. It was known throughout the kingdom for its wisdom in financial and legal matters. The king's subjects would come from the countryside and from the other towns in the realm to ask the cheese for its advice.
The cheese, being a dairy product, soon became weary of providing free legal and financial advice. It also became despondent because, though it was well respected, it wasn't liked by the populace. They would take the free advice yet snigger behind the cheese's back, remarking how smelly the cheese was and what a dreary little straw-filled box it lived in.
As time went on, the cheese became curter with its advice and angrier with its supplicants. It still offered the free financial and legal advice, but it was no longer delivered in a friendly tone and the cheese was downright rude when questioned on other topics outside of finance and law.
One day it was asked its opinion upon people wasting threads on the popular community site b3ta.com, and whether it had anything to say upon people who couldn't or wouldn't read the FAQ despite the regulars' promptings to do so forthwith. 'What twats,' said the cheese.

There's something for everyone in this!
Well, the OP, at least, anyway.
