Return to Question

I've had this happen many, many times, but just recently I asked quite a rudimentary question on ServerFault and someone who turned out to be a moderator answered me.

His answer confused me and I tried to understand why he answered like he did. When I finally realized he was dead wrong I said so and what do you know, all my comments were deleted and my question was closed. Frankly I'm surprised I escaped the ban!

Before that he used the line "I don't have the time to answer you, go read up on basic stuff". I've seen that line used MANY times. I mean, if you don't have time to help me, don't. This is a site designed to help people with questions, but I'm not allowed to ask for help because it's "too basic"? If it's so basic, why aren't you with all your fake points able to help me?

This site has a huge problem with pompous moderators who can't be wrong.

I don't really know to phrase this as a question. I know I will get downvoted and deleted and likely banned anyway, so why bother. Stack Exchange is dead.

Edit: Ohhh, what a surprise. The downvotes are coming in! Maybe you should ask yourself why Stack Exchange has turned into pure shit? Maybe it's because you defend the status quo so hard that you don't even allow questions anymore. Everyone must already know everything or else they aren't allowed to ask questions?
