Everybody has been a newbie at some point, right? Maybe asking silly questions (I certainly have) or saying the wrong thing (ditto) but there are so many people with amazing knowledge here (like yourself) and interacting with you guys it's the best thing. Then, if someone doesn't want to engage with you, it's fine.
Personally, I really enjoy reading your opinions and the way you go about things, even if it's stuff I will never do. Out of curiosity and because I get to "hang around" with people that are awesome.
I appreciate, though, that many don't care about the "social" aspect of it, and it's fair enough. But, in general, people are here to share experiences and thoughts, so what you are saying is true.
