This type of behavior is everywhere right now. A lot of people are struggling emotionally due to the aftermath of the pandemic and other contemporary issues and the way they attempt to vent online is with this type of behavior. I've been using StackOverflow for around 10 years and it hasn't always been as bad as it is now but there certainly have always been some ornery folks answering. You could try to preface your question with something like "I'm not sure I'm asking correctly" or something like that and then if they persist ask them respectfully to not be pedantic as you just want a solution.
