  1. 14:41 but they aren’t mean answers. They’re blunt, not mean. I think SO moderators suffer the same problems as call center operators. You can burn out, and get annoyed at the same bad questions over and over. At that point, the SO mod should probably hand the reins to someone less jaded who still has the capacity to be friendly.

  2. Yeah, that question deserves a downvote and to be deleted. No googling done. Just writing the question, SO would have suggested sooo many answers at multiple points in the question flow. Did they read the docs? Downvotes here isn’t toxic. It’s ensuring the quality of SO Qs and As.
