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...

If he must not be named then who named him?

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.

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

Exactly!

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.
