>>Yeah, SO's culture meant that it was always my absolute last resort to ask a question there.

Have seen this every where, even in case of people. If people are dreading to even approach you for something, its over for you. You can't get just the good things to pass through a filter. No such thing exists.

In many ways you need to be open for everything(apart from outright wrong things, like abuse) including stupid things, to get the good things.
