why is there so much animosity
one could easily see that the so called seniors are very rude. this guy might be wrong with the title of his post but than this is what he probably thought. Just because you know something doesn't mean that you have to be rude to others as it must have taken long time for you guys to learn.i didn't see any straight answers or clear reference to anything that these guys have given.
be nice to newbies as once you were also one
It doesn't necessarily mean they didn't do the research though.
I think utter cluelessness isn't quite as hard to spot as you assume.
One can usually tell if someone just didn't care to describe the full depth of his own investigation performed before posting here, or if there simply was no depth to speak of.
