Warning: A guy at a Denver meetup said 'just ask anything, there are no stupid questions' then laughed at mine.
He asked for questions about local SEO, and when I asked about optimizing for a service area business, he said 'that's basic, google it.' Has anyone else had a speaker completely contradict their own open door policy?

Paul's right about the mixed message thing. It's like how people say "there's no such thing as a bad time to reach out" but then get annoyed when you text them after 9 PM. Just say what you mean, you know?

Yeah, that's a bad look for any speaker. Saying "no stupid questions" and then calling something basic is a total mixed message. In my experience, service area business SEO has a lot of tricky parts that aren't obvious. That guy just sounds like he wanted to show off instead of actually help.

What's the worst example of this you've seen, @paul_morgan? Like a speaker saying one thing and doing the total opposite.
