Maybe this is a good point...

I guess that we might be both right here.  I have very little
experience with StackOverflow, and much more with TeX.StackExchange,
and now I recall that I find the latter much, much friendlier
(especially toward newbies).  I'm not sure whether cases of downvoting
I've seen ran into two digit numbers, for instance.  Also, closing
questions is a very rare situation.  And after looking at a few
discussions on SO, I was appalled by the nastiness of some comments...

Best,
