@codinghorror @anildash SO's average moderator is more polite than Wikipedia's average Talk page denizen imo, to be fair.

SO is just like a lot of older web communities, there are people who have been there for a long time and they have varying levels of tolerance for newbies. MetaFilter is no different. It just turns out that people like talking to no-judgment robots more than many of us expected. (I was just editing the WP page for Replika and some of the science around that is wild)
