For a second there I assumed you were talking about HN.
- kbenson 7y agoEh, as long as you take a bit of care to make the question come across as genuine and not as snark or feigning lack of knowledge to draw out a comment to be hostile to (which people here are often primed to interpret things as), I think you'll generally either get a useful response and upvotes or no response. Working around other people's hangups is a real pain, but that's basically what a large portion of participating in a pseudo-anonymous internet forum is about, unfortunately.
- ineedasername 7y agoYeah, if someone says here, "do you have any examples to share?" then it can be hard to distinguish between an honest request for details vs. a passive aggressive way of saying "I think you're an idiot who can't back up their claims"
