That's the spirit. Now you have to top that. While being standards compliant.

Good luck. :wave:

I would've got away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids!

http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/1...ter-questions/

for the level of arrogance and conceit.

I actually think that's a good thing...
Stackoverflow, I think, is a great resource and mainly for it's lack of pollution.

I now realize it takes effort to make a bad website...

I never saw the website and I see that it no longer exists or at least I'm not able to connect to it. I wanted to see the web's worst website but I guess it will have to wait.

What SO says to potential posters, "You better ask good questions, and we will be the judge of what a good question is. We also reserve the right to edit your question to fit our criteria."

What the potential poster hears, "Arrogant, conceited, ________"


The intent is OK, but the execution is that of a programmer, not a psychologist. I have been in the midst of answering a question and had it closed before I was done. Long live Group Think.

Jeff Atwood suggested I read this, http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/0...gets-it-wrong/ .

I replied, "The problem is that you are not consistent about what the rating is rating. "An evil or incorrect post is ..." , closely followed by "But getting downvoted isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time." If you read the blog with consistency of the object being rated (person / post) and then read it with the other way you will see what I mean."

He also didn't like my response to his statement, "This is how things work on real playgrounds; why would we expect our web playgrounds to be any different?"

Maybe in the 50+ years since I was on a playground things have changed, but it was a place where bullies ruled, and the cliques were king. For the rest of us it was keep your head down and your mouth shut, and if you didn't...

Well, this is an old, dredged up, thread...I thought I was the only one who loathed StackOverflow.
