I'm one of the "nice" guys around here, and I'll be blunt: I don't care if I crush someone's precious feelings when I downvote or close a bad question. We have extensive information on writing good questions. I don't think it's too much to ask that people help us help them. | |

It is indeed a goal to help the person asking the question, but more than that, SE's goal is to foster very high-quality questions and high-quality answers that can serve as a reference for future people that run into similar issues and arrive here from various search engines. The downvote mechanism helps clean up poor-quality questions so that they don't water down the high-quality questions with crap. | |
