No, you're not making a bad judgement. He's not the only one who
treats newcomers with disrespect and scorn. Unfortunately many
so-called experts in the field look down on newbies and mistreat
them (in any programming language forum), forgetting in the
process that they were also at a certain time newbies until
someone gentle and nice enough teachers took the trouble to
educate them. On the other hand there are less neurotic experts
out there who are glad to help out someone learning. It's like in
some universities, you have the bad "professors" who are freaks
(probably they have a lot of problems at home, their wives
screwing all the males on the block, daughters drug addicts etc)
and want to take their hatred out on you, and you have the
good and mentally stable professors who actually deserve their
title.
