Stack Overflow is a combination of a Q&A forum and a wiki. Both questions and answers are edited all the time for correctness and to keep up with community standards. And there's nothing wrong with that. As a user just searching for an answer to my technical question I don't want to see flame wars, cultural exchanges, needlessly verbose text, bad grammar, political discussions and anything else that makes it longer and more difficult to get from point A to B. Similar to how I don't go on Wikipedia to experience the article writer's language skills or culture. There are plenty of other forums (ahem Reddit) for all that.
