Since I was part of that DEV thread I will clarify that I wholeheartedly agree: it is extremely disappointing that you need to wear asbestos underwear and extra-thick skin to participate in SO.

It does a relatively good job for certain things -- specific error messages, common tactical howtos. I.e. The cold hard facts and examples. But it cannot be accused of being a supportive community. Its operating principles creates an automatic tension between mods and (even non-malicious) users, so I doubt it could ever become so with its current formula.
