There’s a huge difference between:

1) asking a question which you don’t have an answer to, getting a good/correct answer, accepting it, learning from it, and moving on with your life.

2) asking a question which you don’t have an answer to, getting a good/correct answer, arguing with it despite your self professed lack of knowledge, getting it clarified, and arguing with it again, and again, and again. Claiming that the person or people who have you the answer to your question are a) bullies, b) trolls, c) mean, d) wrong because reasons.

Sadly, there seems to be an awful lot of (2) going on in the last few days and weeks.

Asking “dumb” questions isn’t a problem.

Refusing to learn, and then acting like an arsehole, is.

This seems undisputable and in both instances you mention it sounds like you’re referring to actually substantive discussions.
Not sure that was initially the subject of the thread. And clearly not what the thread has turned into either 🤦.

I think the statement that “stupid people, are asking stupid questions” is wrong.

Some people are asking questions, not liking the answers, and then behaving badly.

Stupidity has nothing to do with it - arrogance is the issue.
