That's very unfortunate. I hope you can find someone more welcoming (and hopefully who's also in a mentoring mood) to ask whatever you're curious about. Off the top of my head I can't think of any conline communities which would be particularly welcoming (though the general community around Ruby is quite fond of saying how nice they are); do you have any friends or relatives who write any code?
Unfortunately I do not have any close friends or family who know much about computers at all however there are a lot of good people over on some of the subreddits that are always happy to help out. The C and C++ subreddits are particularly good.
