It's quite understandable. If you can take the time to make an SO account and write a title and question body, why not Google that title first? Another class of almost offensive questions is exemplified by this question on the front page for me right now: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64087844/programming-tiv... . The user states what he wants, then completely useless debugging information, then a wall of code that in no way complies with the SO guidelines of reducing your code to a minimal working example, and finally an all-caps expression of personal feelings. Come on – nobody would feel sorry for someone acting like this in the real world. There are a few basic rules for social interactions. |
