IRCs were notorious for this kind of behaviour. I remember when i first started linux I got long drawn-out lectures about how stupid I was for not getting why the issue i was having occurred, and that rather than get help I should RTFM. It can be real bad sometimes, and a lot of the time mods would provide no help to you against that kind of beratement. We’ve come a long way from then, though there’s still plenty of pockets within the programming world that act this way.
