    I mean that’s fine, but he is posting on IRC and bash. Casual people don’t post there and have no idea what those things are. But this guy specifically thinks very highly of himself in a technical capacity, but doesn’t understand basic networking. People like him make everyone else’s life worse.

      You know nothing about the OP, besides the fact that he posts on Bash. IRC is very familiar to an older generation of users, and people join technical communities to learn new things. How is asking for help making people’s lives worse? RTFM is a common response, but first you need to know which M to FR in the first place, and a helpful nudge from someone in the know helps a lot.
