So that's how stackoverlow works...

Point being?

Every community has its unique array of people, for better and worse.

Sure it does, but for a place which prides itself in professionalism and enthusiasm this is a terrible example. I think this may even point to degrading answer quality just for the points. At least Quora is still fresh.

That's just an instance. I've always received great support and answers to my questions.

Note that there's now better answers and the criticized exchange is gone:

No forum or community should be judged by one out-of-context snapshot... it's the process, and the end result, that matters.
