I am not shitting when I say I go look and trace the actual source code long before I step onto the forums.
BSD forums are filled with people who have been using UNIX since the 1980s, like fucking grand wizard shit, and they don’t have time for your stupid ass
It’s bad enough when people spend longer berating the OP for their question-asking etiquette than it would take to answer the question.
However it’s nothing compared to the absolute deviants who do provide an answer but do so in a deliberately oblique fashion that requires much more research to understand than the original problem.
It’s volunteer tech support, not testing that I’m pure of heart so I can access a mystic sword, you can just say the thing.
BSD is by far much worse than any Linux community. “Have you read the man pages.”

/UJ they’re not that bad tho
I will never feel bad for telling someone to read the source to answer their own question. It’s right there, man.
Granted, this is generally in a professional engineering context.
