Quora has a lot of passionate users.

I've got a hard time not writing

"Quora has a lot of trolls" FTFY

with that kind of comment. Impersonation is crap and childish behavio(u)r and not about being "passionate" about a site or a technology.

I don't think Quora guys are to blame, but

- These comments should be moderated/removed/shouldn't have been allowed in the first place

- Calling idiots that do things like that "passionate users" does both the service and the internet in general a disservice. They are idiots. Period. That's not funny, that's not cool or helpful. Your reply seems kind of supportive and I don't get why.

I am making an observation.

You seem very angry.

I'm curious why, does anybody know? After looking at Stackoverflow I considered technical Q&A a solved problem, and it seems to translate well to other topics.
Quora is not limited to technical Q&A. Also, it allows people to put things like "3x SEO EXPERT CHIEF VP FOUNDER" next to their name. Lesser Q&A sites (and BBSes in general) do not implement this feature.
