Solve : Bad answers to noob questions?

Answer»

I was doing some browsing of coding blogs I found via Google (I'm beginning to play around with Python) and I came across this amusing piece called "Bad Answers On Stack Overflow". It draws attention to something I have myself noticed on that forum which I use quite a lot, that is, overly blunt "grizzled experts" and "helpful (but wrong) newbies" coming into conflict.

ST, An interesting article to read. What i LARGELY took away from it is the eternal STRUGGLE created by HUMANKIND's exposure to the motivational stimulus (extremely variable) as to how to interact with their fellow human beings. It would probably take pages to even try to enunciate all the possible factors that can come into play. However when reading through the submission one does get an appreciation for what MANY of them can be based upon. I for one would not want all the world to be exactly like me (though some times it might make THINGS easier). I relish the incredible variety of human behavior and with a few exceptions would not desire to stifle it. But i did like your reference "amusing" as that is a fine context to view the article in.truenorth
