I asked a question and it was getting too long with explanations, because me and the other guy were discussing. I asked another SEPARATE question. The dude from previous question downvoted and I think he blocked my question?, because it was not publicly accessible and the dude had reputations.

I still get flashbacks when asking questions in SO.

As someone who answers a lot of questions on SO, it's very annoying when someone posts a pages-long question containing all of their sloppy code. If you try to whittle down your code to the bare minimum needed to reproduce the error, you often times find the error yourself. If not, you make it much easier for a stranger on the internet to volunteer their time to help fix your problem.

So many people come to SO with a sense of entitlement, as if people are sitting their being paid to evaluate their code and solve their problems.
