front intake top and rear exhaust. hot air rises.

This information hardly helps. I am pretty sure we all went to junior high, or are currently doing so.

I've seen people on this forum that argued with me about hot air rising. Depending on the person, it can help. Why the hostility?

Warmer air rising is negligible when there's active airflow. It only really applies for things like passively cooled systems and the room having cooler air near the floor.
