I don't think that people are being harsh but more that they are tired of people popping up with the same questions and not putting forth any effort.

Even though i've only been here a few months it does get annoying when you see the 1-2 posters that ask the same questions... alot of times they seem to be on the younger side.. i'm basing that on the lack of communication skills... not that gamer geeks are the best at it sometimes.. but hey most of us can spell and use periods completely inappropriately................................... ............
