You don't get ridiculed for asking questions. You get ridiculed for how you ask them. Such as: ask a question, provide the answer yourself in the same post, then insult a bunch of people while you're at it. It is, by definition, a troll; and that's what got ridiculed.galaga88 said:

More seriously, the "troll" label is thrown around way too casually lately. If you don't like a thread, you may feel free not to read it and instead check out the thousands of others on these boards.

I think there has been a misunderstanding, and everyone should just move on.
I know that when I have a question, I often put out possible answers- sometimes one of them is even the correct one. That's what Tyrrell did.
Tyrell, the first answer you gave was correct, and the other ones were sorta sarcastic/funny. So it looked like you knew what the answer was. So why would someone ask a question if they seem to know the answer already? Maybe you were trying to make a joke? The date joined made it seem like you are an old-timer, and so you that seemed to be the best bet. Then when you said you didn't know it seemed like you were trying to waste people's time and draw them out into unnecessary discussion. That could be construed as a trolling kind of post.
So it was a coincidence and some misleading circumstantial evidence. And some of us might have been too quick to judge. But I really hope that there will be no hard feelings from anyone about this.
ENWorld is generally a very friendly board, really, but there are occasional breakdowns in communication.
