| Aug 27, 2016 at 19:56 | comment | added | HopelessN00b | Here's a thought. Have you tried practicing what you're preaching? Find yourself some clueless posters and politely/nicely explain the situation to them. Do that for a while, on a regular basis, and see if you still have the same concerns in a month (or if the experience has changed you into a bitter, jaded husk). | |
| Aug 27, 2016 at 13:34 | comment | added | Ryan Babchishin | @lain No it's not at odds, I agree. You can do both at the same time. You can be polite and nice and considerate and direct and even firm and other things all at the same time. I call it being professional and a kind person. It's how I am with my son as a father as well, even when he's difficult to deal with (like a user?). | |

| Aug 25, 2016 at 21:37 | comment | added | Mark Riddell | I am a fairly new contributor to Server Fault and I agree entirely with your point of view - some comments/answers on the site can seem very terse. As someone who tries to be as understanding and patient as possible in my professional life, I too find myself slipping into easy cynicism and impatience when answering or commenting on questions on this site. I don't know if it's just because of the volume of low effort "cash-grab" questions that I see, however, I do, and will continue to, make an effort to behave online in the same manner as I would offline. It's nice to be nice I guess.. | |
