I think other factors include, answering the same posts over and over. Reading "My script don't work. Here's no code or hint about what I'm actually trying do to. What should I do?" gets old quick. It can be trying on the patience when you see a lot of "no effort" posts.

I think the other is when some people reach a certain level in a given field, that just start acting like pompous "know it alls". I've met more than a few people who while very gifted in their respective fields, seem to have social skills that are inversely proportional to their technical proficiency.

My personal feeling is "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." (Unless it's a flamebait or otherwise questionable content), If I see a post that irks me due to lack of due diligence, etc I just decline to comment.

From day one, the thing I found great about the Monestary was that the attitude matched the name in spirit. Being an outsider I could ask a question without getting flamed or otherwise put down. I hope it can stay this way.
