But people still feel the need to show themselves superior by making comments that are utterly unhelpful. They could simply remain silent.
I agree entirely that the OP should do their homework. I agree entirely that the question really merits no reply at all. The point is that the quoted article can be paraphrased as saying "Be helpful, or shut up." That got so many upvotes, and yet here is the same unhelpful, destructive behaviour.
I guess in short it's a case of "If you can't say something nice (helpful) then don't say anything at all."
- brk 16y agoSome people make snarky comments to feel superior, some do it to demonstrate the insanity of the question. You could post nothing, and then possibly cause the OP to think no one has seen their question, so they post it again. For this particular case I wanted to acknowledge the question with an answer that was about as parsable and logical as the question itself.
