What do you get if you cross two different concepts? Isn't it a big risk that we create enormous confusion?
Yeah, remember the Telefax – writing through the telephone? Or the automobile – a horseless carriage? The Earth as a Sphere, but the Australians don't fall off? Chewing gum – you kinda eat it, but not really? And then beef jerkey – kinda like chewing gum, but you really do eat it, but it's not gum, it's meat? There's still some major confusion going on around these topics.
A lot of people come in with the picture of a phpBB system where you use "I" a lot. But then when you actually write the question, you have to twist your brain to accept that it should be "we", because then it's a wiki.
Yes.
Then you have invested a lot of time and you also discover that the question was asked before.
That's great – because you had a question, right? No need to wait until you get the answer. It's already there!
Do you really think anyone will delete the question then?
They are not supposed to be deleted. They are supposed to be closed as a duplicate, but stick around, so people searching for similar questions with different wordings in the end all can find the single canonical answer to their question.
No, of course not. He/she fill fight for it to survive.
"This is the Microsoft help desk, how can I help you?" – "Yeah, I just bought this new computer, and there's Windows on it, but I want to turn off the computer for now and I can't find a way to stop Windows." – "I'll be glad to help you, sir; we get this question a lot. You have to click on St…" – "What the &%$ยง are you talking about? I'm not the first one who asks this? You already know the answer? Cut this crap right now! I demand you forget the answer right now and re-find the solution!"
This twist is not understood by newcomers
Then start being helpful and explaining, instead of posting rants on Meta.
and is the reason that we all hate each other back at Stackoverflow.
That would be news to me. Hey, here's a joke for lighting up a bit. Traffic radio: "Attention drivers, a vehicle is driving against the traffic on I-101." Driver: "What's he talking about, a vehicle? There are, like, hundreds!"
The most effective method to destroy a community is do dive into it and make people angry at each other. I think SO fits that description like a hand in a glove.
Did it ever occur to you that the Stack Overflow community was created with this model of thinking? It's not like people were pulled away from their phpBBs and BBCodes and Smileys to be packed into this weird Wiki-Forum-Reddit-Thingadongdong. They were, in a sense, born into this way of doing things.
Do not be surprised if "stacks" all over the world will create angry people. Do not be surprised if the never ending "What's the right question?"-question will be the discussion for every meta site.
It seems like you have been doing some in-depth analysis. Do you have a magic eight ball that says "We're all going to die!!!" on all sides?
Should we change the wording to create better understanding?
So you want to change the wording although you claim the problem is in the concept? That's the "Patriot Act" way.
or Is the benefit better then the bad garbage(angry people)?
Yes. At least I see quite some helpfulness on SO and very few fist fights.
What do you think? Or can we battle this problem with "[closed]"?
You have failed to prove that there even is a problem.
Right answer to my question is: "Major confusion and angry people"
Right answer to your question is: "What is your question?"
