Off-topic, but the closing of interesting open-ended discussion points is one of the reasons I avoid stack overflow.

- gm 16y agoAgreed. I think the stack exchange sites hould just openly state: "If you ask a questions that harms the ego of any of our mods, your question will be summarily closed. Be advised that our mods identify with the technology at hand, so any criticism of the underlying technology will almost certianly be taken as a personal attack on our mods." It's a cancer that affects all of the SE forums (and they _are_ forums).
- zoul 16y agoStack Overflow actively tries to avoid open-ended discussions because it’s not a discussion site. I see that as a feature.
