When Stack Overflow started, I tried to contribute but never succeeded, there was some kind of chicken-egg issue that prevented any answer to get through, I don't really remember what it was, just gave up since I wasn't interested in karmas enough to jump through those hoops.

So it became a read-only resource for me, fair enough. Now most of the useful information I find is decorated with comments from some moderator or contributor talking shit about the question or the answer. Somehow I feel the unfriendliness directed towards me, as if I should feel ashamed to want the wrong answer to the wrong question. Then I read the first sentence of this article:

We all want Stack Overflow to be a welcoming and friendly place.

I do, actually. But not sure about all.
