I just love how often, when you search for an answer to a question about some Linux thing or other, it'll take you to forums where the questions simply don't get answered

very often because some forum cop has decided the question is irrelevant, or someone asked it ten years ago and so it didn't need to be asked again, or whatever

Linux geeks suck

Oh yeah, this. Ruby Stackoverflow has this one asshole moderator who, apparently, never needs to go to work.
They could be worse, I guess, they're just a gatekeeper with a major case of pedantry.

@kara Correction: *unemployed* Linux geeks suck. People who gain their living from Linux knowedge and contributions don't have time to go on to public forums and crush poor users to make themselves feel important.
