It's not necessarily that people are mean, but when you (again, a GENERAL you) come on, post something that could easily be answered by a search, don't take the time to browse around the site but leap straight to posting your new thread, and compound those sins with unintelligible grammar and attitude when called out on stuff instead of attempting to explain yourself in a clearer, more reasonable manner, well, you're asking for it. And for pete's sake, don't take things so personally. It's the internet.
