The userbase at SO is one of the most toxic I've ever encountered. I've answered questions for people, and other users on the site treat it like an extreme competition to have the accepted answer in order to accumulate fake internet points, I guess. Got really nasty messages from some of the users and will never interact on that site again after having this happen for a few weeks.
