Boy, recently I have ran into a bunch of people that are anti-documentation.
Even with something like synchronet where it's pretty well organized and you can following along while you do what you're trying to do, people get enraged when i say to check out the documentation because there's examples in it. That's what I did when I would setup something or run into issues.
It seems like these lazy people want you to lay everything out on a silver platter. I mean if something's in a section on the docs, it's in that section. do they expect us to cut and paste it from the docs for them every time?
these askholes are just a waste of time.
The definition of "askhole" is someone that continually asks for advice and then doesn't follow it (e.g. does the opposite). While annoying, I don't think it's the same thing. "Anti-doc" (the term you gave) might be a better term for the behavior you're describing above.
