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.

Trouble is that when he does answer difficult questions he does know a lot and gives a good answer.
Just he has the interpersonal skills of a dead tree frog and wouldn't recognise a beginner if they bit him on the ...

He does.
The problem, most of the times, is he wants to answer a correct question, while, possibly, there's a problem to solve.

Hey man, I'm not trying to emultate at all!

Indeed. Your troll like behaviour is all your own

I often wonder how close he comes to being abuse-voted off the site. 
He may know what he's talking about, but...

Not for the first time. I'm pretty open about the fact he (and his ilk) the primary reason I largely stopped answering in Q&A a few years ago & I know I'm not alone. There are a few people I think have gone further and have actually stopped posting here (I assume they've moved other place whose name I dare not utter here) because of this sort of thing going on in Q&A.

Yours is not a message at all: you are wrong on so many layers...

You forgot "Please ... "

So does he, most of the time!

Ask Kornfeld. He had conquered over the power of Voldemort.
I, too, had an encounter with him. He answered a simple question with much complicated one (one I cannot decipher) and downvoted my answer. Then, after a couple of minutes (maybe he realized he was wrong) delete his answer and upvote mine. I'm all armored to face the lord voldemort but I was relieved he backed down first.
I know too that arguing with him is like arguing with ladies. You know you're right, but definitely will lose in the end.
Goodnight guys!

Actually, this isn't necessarily the case. I've had one exchange with him where he backed off, but it was more tedious than it was worth.
The forums are/were much kinder and much better at self-policing. Spats would break out and dingbat questions would be chided, but it did seem much more collaborative as the replies are all visible.

Wow! Just found out that SA was the reason for what appeared to me to be a valid newbie question to be closed[^]. Yay! (I thought the OP closed it.) So much for helping newbies! Hopefully the changes I made allow the OP to see it, but I'm not holding out hope because it still shows as 'closed' despite my revision to the question. The only way he can find it on CP is a Google query for "block.at(i).at(j).value[^]" (in quotes).
Anyway, if he sees it, maybe he will benefit.
