I think you may have misunderstood things. But sometimes there are
simple reasons for getting a response that is perceived as unfriendly.

A few common issues I have seen that will get a less favourable or even
a harsh response sometimes:
 - Clearly showing that someone has not read the manual.
 - Expecting a mailinglist to respond like they got some sort of SLA and
are entitled to an swift answer. (I doubt it anyone here gets payed for
reading the mailinglist, left alone writing up answers.)
 - Dropping a message with nothing to go on. Sometimes not even an error
message.

People posting questions can help by realizing that beyond what is put
in the message we do not know a single bit about your setup. So unless
they tell explain in sufficient detail it is just another inpossible puzzle.

Hugo.
