> From your long rant, I'm not sure if you're coming off any better. To me it sounds like SO should be happy someone like you isn't contributing.

Is quite a harsh personal attack, and probably contributes to the author's feelings regarding hostility and gatekeeping.

They're the one saying people at SO aren't nice. My guess is just that the person feels that way after getting pushback from their own behavior / attitude. I feel it's a trend, I see lots of toxic comments from people "having given up SO", and I think to myself that it's a good thing..

But you're right, I should've avoided going personal.

No, by all means go right ahead.

I literally not do care remotely what you, or other folk like you on SO say. :)

You’re why I no longer go there.

They never said that. They said that stupid comments get posted.

[matsemann]

I quote it in my parent post directly. So yes, they said that.

wokwokwok did not say that. wokwokwok replied to a comment that said that, but did not say it themself.
