What I think is that it should be a rule on askhubski that if you ask an extremely vague question you contribute at least a hundred words of your own opinion in the post section.

EDIT: that's a bit better. The more content, the more seriously your post will be taken, in general.

Since we're giving our opinion on things completely unrelated to the post, here's what I think: Your comment shows exactly the kind of Internet snark I wish I could find absent in a community. This is exactly the kind of unsolicited criticism I think few people would make in real life conversation. Even your edit has this kind of condescending superiority-complex tone. You give the impression that you care about the quality of conversations on Hubski, but I think this is exactly the kind of dogmatic authoritarian nonsense that drives people away from the discussion. Personally, I think vague questions sometimes provoke the most interesting responses, and I enjoy them on occasion.

I think you make a valid point about the post, but I don't think your opinion on the matter is necessarily canon, and I think you might do well to reconsider your tone.

Sure thing. Glad to have your input. EDIT: Thank you, cloud, for taking the road I wanted to take.
