I agree to that observation, but IMO your conclusion is plain wrong. If 
someone deserves a RTFM he should get it. Consider the opposite: if 
someone asks a stupid question, and gets a lengthy end friendly answer 
that makes me very angry. Now suppose I start a flame war on this 
ground, would you blame that on the person who answered and consequently 
ban the long an friendly answer???
