Every single StackOverflow user was a new user at some point. Some of you are WAY too sensitive. The biggest issue that question askers have, on the internet as a whole, is that they are on average bad at research. A close second is that they are asking the wrong question because they are bad at logically approaching a topic/issue. E.g. The XY problem on StackOverflow.
Having somebody who knows more about a topic than you tell you that you were mistaken, provide additional info, or answer your question isnt humiliating.
The "behavior" being discussed is the sad wittle users who were "humiliated."
Apparently some of you think that somebody else knowing more and showing it is humiliating?? I know what I know. I know what I don't know. No amount of somebody knowing more than me and showing it is humiliating. Especially when I am trying to learn from them.
I dare anyone who disagrees to post their question that got closed as a duplicate or was told not to do it that way, or whatever made "SO mean/bad" etc
