It's saying about the person you are. Politeness and common sense are pros not cons.
And if you personally won't say anything to anyone imagine this situation:
In a community there's a meeting in a room. No one knows you.
You enter and take the teapot and you get out without a word.
You come back and get the bread and leave instead some cakes and you get out again without saying a word.
You return and ask: "may I have the butter?"
How's everyone in the room looking at you?
It is the same: we are and trying to build a warm community. What do you expect from the members of this community to say if you come and ask and no one knows a word about you?
We would like to know a few about you, that's how a good reputation is built.
We don't need to know your blood type and shoe size, honestly. But what's your field of expertise and eventually favorite SL/PL would let us know from where to start at the point when you start asking questions about a non-working whatever (script/plugin/theme)
