    The original thread with the question had a lot of interesting recommendations and was mostly positive when I saw it. It was only the follow up meme crapping on the community and their defensive responses comments that it became negative.

      When I saw it it had maybe a dozen comments and all but one was negative. The comment referenced in this meme hadn’t been posted yet, it was mostly just telling OP that they were typing wrong. It was weird and dismissive with 0 suggestions beyond “learn to type correctly

      Maybe future comments were more supportive but the initial onslaught was extremely homogenous and negative.

        You do realize that ordering comments by old/new is a thing, and in doing so, the oldest comments are all helping/discussing solutions, with one comment being the mean one mentioned?

        That’s kind of the way it has always worked on these types of threads? People upvote the helpful comments and downvote the unhelpful ones? But after the original post went mostly positive they should have left it alone instead of trying to complain about not being serviced to their level of needs on a public forum. That’s where they messed up.

          Fair enough. I just wanted to give my initial impression after seeing the thread. I felt bad for OP because I didn’t think it was a stupid question
