I’ve never posted a question to S.O. My infuriation is entirely gratuitous. So many times I’ve found a polite, well worded question asking exactly what I need answered, only to see it closed as off topic (and we’re talking “question about preg_match() on the PHP stackexchange” type question) or for some condescending asshole to mark it as duplicate, linking a mostly unrelated and far simpler question with no further indication why this might be at all the proper response.
