The most interesting type of replyguy is the meta-replyguy (as in the greek prefix, not the tech company).
Here's a typical interaction:
Me: [Question] Please only reply if you know the answer.
Someone: I googled it for 5 seconds, here's the answer. [It's not the answer.]
Me: Did you not read my post? I only wanted replies if you know the answer.

Meta-replyguy: You're an asshole.

Paraphrased
Me: “I don’t like raisins”
Replyguy: “Why don’t you use Linux?”

The number of replyguys who told me it’s my fault that that screen is empty is non-zero
