You just resign from a discussion, and then complain how a mistake has been made, that you didn't care to even point out. There was no discussion. I didn't resign, I never engaged in any discussion in the first place. I just found a question and a closed question. And I can't even comment on how it shouldn't have been closed. It's closed. That's it. Your entire comment is about how SO fails, and rather than work to overcome it, it just blamed the people for "not holding it right." |

Do you know the concept of a triage?

Either you don't have some very minimal reputation in the network (I don't know, 100 points?), which limitation is there, I think, do protect from bots and similar abuse, or the question was *locked* for other reason than just being a duplicate. You could still open a question on meta to discuss that.
I don't even want to defend SO, I'm just frustrated by how terribly bad the arguments criticizing SO are.
