- jl6 6y agoIt’s because cases are rarely black-and-white and even legitimate grievances usually have at least some element of fault lying with the complainant, which undermines hyperbolic claims that the sky is falling at these websites.
- saagarjha 6y agoHere’s one from Stack Overflow that annoyed me recently: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16023637/difference-between-pic-vs-pie https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16023637/difference-betw.... The question is quite sane (there are these two similar options in GCC, how do they differ?), but it was closed as being “ambiguous”.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoClosed as you say, but the question was still answered so what's the problem.
- saagarjha 6y agoPoorly, but I digress. I see no reason to close the question. I see multiple people voting to do so a disconnect from the people deciding this.
- colejohnson66 6y agoThe problem is: what if it was closed before it got the answer? Closed questions can’t receive answers.
