Actually _I_ am the one who feels put down.
It's a major pet peeve to me and I am very careful not to do it to others.

Q: "Can you help me with X problem with Y software?" (reasonable question)
A: "Oh you don't really want that, here's how to set up Z software instead," (answer implying the asker hasn't researched options and is need of education and redirection)

Q: "Can you give me info about X med?" (reasonable question)
A: "Oh that's a bad idea [cuz I believe so] and you should try Y-med and/or Z-med." (answer implying asker hasn't done the reseach and hasn't exhausted all possible options and is in need of pushing)
