S.O., in my opinion; has become the site of the most rude, opinionated and offensive question site anywhere.

Many years ago, I spent hours daily answering questions as a learning tool for my own interests. I achived a top 5% contributer acknowledgement.

Today, I refuse to contribute at all. Reason? Nazi moderators mostly, but negativity within the community is the norm. There's little respect for honest questions and plenty of downvotes everywhere.

I only go there for answers now.
