Search - "marked as duplicate!"

Desperately searching stackoverflow for an answers. NOT FOUND. Posting it as a question. MARKED DUPLICATE! What kind of sorcery is this? :D5

Another stack overflow rant.
I had a disagreement with a self proclaimed "high repper" last night. We exchanged words in the comments of one of my questions.
Later (about ten mins) i see that another one of my questions has been closed and marked as duplicate - by this same fuck-knuckle. He has obviously gone to my profile and then gone out of his way to harass / bully me by doing this.
The 2 questions are absolutely not duplicates and he has marked them as identical.
I go to his profile and his headline thing is
"Low reppers hate closers but they need to go bitch about it elsewhere"
If anyone on here doesn't understand why SO gets a bad rap, it's specifically due to complete cunts like this guy.
If you happen to be on here and recognise yourself from the really cringy "low reppers" comment on your profile, then all I have to say to you is that you are a complete an utter ballbag; a tool; an arsehole of the highest order.
Fuck you and all your spawn.10 -
Aaah, good old StackOverflow..
Ask a question and get it marked as duplicate for something that didn't even solve the posters answer.. 4 years ago1 -
Mom: My printer won't start. Can you FIX it?
Me: Mom, I am a coder, I don't know jack about hardware.
A week later....
Mom: My printer won't start. Can you FIX it?
Me: This question is marked as duplicate and closed as off-topic. 🤖
Hangs up.7 -
Can someone tell me how "Marked As Duplicate is even FUCKING HELPFUL?
Stack Overflow and their stupid policies can go fuck themselves. Is the world really going to end if someone writes a question that's been asked before? Especially when you link to a goddamn question that still doesn't answer what I asked?
And then have the gall to say "exact duplicate?"
EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DIFFERENT QUESTION?15 -
Was interviewing someone for a role, asked them a basic question in Python (before anyone gets on my case about interview coding questions, it's removing duplicates and the answer is to just cast to set, I'm just checking that they actually know Python). Perusing Stack Overflow while I wait for their answer (it's a remote call and I give them a bit of time to calmly deliberate). The exact prompt I gave them pops up as a question, the asker is registered to their profile.
Not only did they not get the job, but I downvoted the question and marked it as duplicate. Rejection and unemployment can be temporary, but StackOverflow reputation is FOREVER. -
I posted on StackOverflow, it didn’t get downvoted or marked as duplicate, and I received a useful answer that solved my problem. Am I dreaming?5

After my Python-question was marked as Duplicate on StackOverflow I realized that the problem was wrong indentation....1

"Hey guys I need help I struggle with asynchronous stuff and I need to pass props loaded via Ajax, I can't manage to apply this solution (link to another SO question with complete and structured answer), can you guys help ?"
*30 seconds later, question is marked as duplicate, the answer has been given here (link to same question I was refering)* -
Have this problem which already took me well over a day to figure out.
Thinking: "I might try SO, maybe I'll get an answer there.".
*Posts question with nice explanation and code example.*
Literally 5 mins later: question is marked as duplicate of a super generic question, which does not answer mine.1
