there are a few jerks here but truthfully - most people are polite and informative. If someone replies having broken the rules you can alert on them. (Looks like some have broken the rules in their reply to you)
If they haven't actually broken the rules just try to ignore them. You can also block people who are problematic for you.
Some of the problems are common to the internet - anonymity gives some people "courage" to let their worst selves shine through.
