Emphatically co-signed, and I would like to add that this is far from the first time I've seen this sort of aggressive, dismissive, adversarial behavior from AntC.
Usually it's in discussion of core libraries and extensions and I've held my tongue because there are committees in charge of such things; if they find his input outweighs his tone, so be it.
But this is entry-level community gatekeeping. Responding to innocent questions with derision will drive many new and curious Haskellers away. Worse, the ones who stay are more likely to echo that abuse down the line. This is how communities become and remain toxic.
So I feel a duty to step up and say, this is thoroughly unacceptable here.
Adding to what Aaron said, I would also request that you not speak for others (or at least not for me):

would be better rephrased as
