This type of attitude and behavior isn't isolated to SO. I genuinely think it's an industry wide issue. In particular the OSS community is, in my opinion, much worse. I have a decade of experience programming but I barely consider contributing to open source projects because of how I "feel" when I read github issues. People are extremely curt and standoffish. Yes, you're right, yes you sound intelligent, but you're a bit of an asshole.

You're not wrong, you're just an asshole
