"This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion"
I think there should be a place for this kind of stuff, some place hackers can do these "prohibited" sorts of things...
I think they need to work on communicating that much more clearly, but ultimately they don't want to (primarily) be a place of extended discussion, debate, and so on, and I'm not sure it's fair to say "no, they're wrong" to that.
I was kind of referring to the very nice platform I'm typing on right now... :)
Oh my, not the dreaded extended discussion!! When will people learn that our tech overlords have found the most optimized means of communicating? We mustn’t revert to the dark times when conversing was openly practiced by the barbarians.
