| Dec 5, 2017 at 22:11 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | Even if I agree that the first sentence of the answer was insulting, it was only insulting to people who are not involved in the question or answer or Stack Exchange (as far as we know), i.e., the coworkers who have no business being Exchange admins. I strongly doubt the "Be Nice" policy covers entities that are not even Stack Exchange users. To me, the tone of the answer actually validated the concerns of the asker, and was entirely appropriate. | |

| May 12, 2017 at 9:06 | comment | added | Reaces | @Xalorous Technical QA =/= a professional setting. We are a QA for professionals but this QA isn't our profession. The difference being that we are answering here out of our own volition using our personal time. If we want to be crass (while keeping basic civility), we can be crass, we have no direct connection to the people we talk to. And to be frank, that is the only environment in which you can expect people to give up free time to help others. Now there are lines you shouldn't be crossing, but judging by the votes I don't think the majority feels like that happened here. | |

| May 11, 2017 at 22:21 | comment | added | Jeter-work | @KatherineVillyard Thank you. I aspire to be level headed and come to balanced, appropriate answers, like your comment shows. I guess the question probably seems a bit thin skinned. Maybe that's why I got all the troll responses too. | |
| May 11, 2017 at 22:18 | comment | added | Jeter-work | @Reaces If the tone of the answer does not disqualify it in your eyes, you have a much greater acceptance of unprofessional behavior than I do. "Badmouthing" others in a professional setting demonstrates personal feelings of inadequacy, and a need to lower others to the level where the speaker subconsciously feels they are or where they feel they are judged to be. I mean really, come on. Didn't all "Geeks" and "Nerds" learn this basic psychology when coping with bullies in school? Bottom line, I often feel like I can show Q&A from here to back up a proposal or a decision in discussion. Then... | |
| May 11, 2017 at 20:46 | comment | added | Katherine Villyard | Unfortunately, the review queue is automated, and the audits appear to be generated based on community consensus. Sometimes one disagrees with the community, but there's not a lot to do about it. Unless you fail audits repeatedly no one does anything to you, anyway. In short, flunking a review audit once is pretty much meaningless. Don't worry about it. | |

| May 11, 2017 at 19:34 | comment | added | Reaces | @Xalorous I'm sorry but if the tone of the answer immediately disqualifies it in your eyes. Then I personally do not trust your judgment when it comes to technical Q&A. And do indeed agree that you failed the audit. | |

| May 11, 2017 at 18:15 | comment | added | user143703 | So we ARE here to insult and deride each other. False Co-workers != 'each other'. They would be a separate third party. That said, I'm here to insult and deride each other. Especially @wesley. | |
| May 11, 2017 at 17:07 | comment | added | Jeter-work | So we ARE here to insult and deride each other and draw conclusions from not enough information. Check And we should immortalize those insults and diatribes for posterity. Check Insults make answers better. Check I don't buy it. I'm a professional and I believe that ad hominem attacks detract from the argument. | |
| May 11, 2017 at 16:33 | comment | added | Wesley | "Besides, OP's co-workers' competence is irrelevant to the question at hand." False. "My review was spot on." False. "If the goal of the stack is to provide answers for reference, judgement of third or fourth parties' competence based on limited information has no place." False. "In fact, it detracts from the answer, and the stack." False. So in other words, the review audit was accurate, worked as intended, and we're all good here. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ | |
| May 11, 2017 at 16:26 | comment | added | Jeter-work | If I want bickering and insults, I go to reddit. If the first line of the 'answer' is an insult, I do not expect quality content from the rest, probably even skip to the next one or downvote without finishing the answer. I agree with you, the answer was an unattributed quote (probably from TechNet) that answers the question. | |
| May 11, 2017 at 15:54 | comment | added | Reaces | While I agree that the tone of the answer was more aggressive than it should be. The answer is a fully technical correct answer to the question. | |
