- ehnto 6y agoIt's more fun to have a conversation with someone though, you can have a more nuanced discussion. You shouldn't assume people are just being lazy, sometimes they just want to engage with the community.
- echelon 6y agoThis is a community of learners. No question is stupid. Don't assume laziness. By taking this attitude as a default, you stifle the curiosity of others. Healthy discussion shouldn't be discouraged.
