Please briefly describe the interaction that caused you to file this ticket:
Well, I came in asking a simple question about compiz, but then upon commenting on someone else's question by mentioning "xampp" (apparently a swear word in there) and my experience with how it reacts with SElinux, fenrus02 proceeded to jump on me and everyone else who asked about it in a manner that I would describe as similar to Sheldon from "The Big Bang Theory" ... when I then shrugged it off and decided to just go back to my main question about compiz, he continued going on about xampp as if I hadn't asked about compiz at all -- or is "that" not supported as well? As others continued to mention xampp, he would jump on them too... so I decided to just say thanks and that I'd get help elsewhere.
Fedbot then made his periodic comment reminding people to file tickets about their experiences in #Fedora, before I left, so I figured I would.
Now of course, I understand by filing this ticket that I may come across as a stupid, idiot whiner who should be ignored, but I believe one of the things that was mentioned as far as filing tickets is "Complaints about a user. If a certain user has personally attacked you or otherwise behaved so you don't feel welcome in #fedora" ... Not that I feel "personally attacked" or anything, he didn't do that. What he did do is make me feel unwelcome in #fedora. I came there to ask a question, and for mistakenly saying something that he perceived to be stupid, I was jumped on and my question was ignored.
I understand that the philosophy of Linux in general is to solve more of your problems yourself, but does that mean being rude to newcomers? It's only been 8 months since I've transitioned to Linux from Windows, so I don't know everything -- and I imagine it would be discouraging to people who know even less as well.
