Q And A Gripe Of The Day.
So, I've been dipping my toes in the water of answering Q&A questions, having rage quit when some decided that it should become his monopoly. I've had a few answers and no messages informing me that my answer is incomplete and to see the near identical answer they have provided. So far so good, I might keep continuing.
Yesterday I saw a newbie type question. From the context of replies he has managed to find the MSDN page needed, but not the answer to his question (which is on the page, buried in a classname). Instead of pointing out the answer on the page, he's been told there is more-or-less something wrong with him if he can't find it. Good job we don't need new members given that at least some of them will become the wise old elves of the future.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm going to fix that soon.

I would say you need to provide a link, BUT...
You're description is enough for everyone who visits QA to know that it was either OG when he's blapped out on Lanolin Hooch or The Other One.
Is it the later by chance?

I don't know, no one will name him...

That's because if you name him, he appears...

I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

No, he tells you you are an idiot for saying it wrong...

I see you have encountered SAK.

In the old days it really could be anyone, or rather they were worse...
|
|

|

I actually disagree. In the old times there were more sarcasms, but usually identifiable as such. I'm seing contempt today.
|
|

I would say that I could figure out most of the questions just by some googling, so I guess they find people lazy. 
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed they are, but if you don't even know what to search for, you googling attempts would fail even if they tried.
Another problem is that if you don't know the question, you often will not get a useful answer in the Q&A either.

Yes but to be fair I don't find this to be a big issue:
How to perform 2D picture plotting[^]
MAny of the questions seems to be "urgentz" etc, and seem to be somebody that is working and not knowing what to do, or homework and is just lazy? More often than not, I usually find my questions answered on Stackoverflow rather than this site.

Sadly, this is not necessarily the case anymore. He has disciples who seem to think that it's perfectly okay to emulate his rudeness and troll like behaviour towards newbies.
