| Mar 28, 2017 at 1:02 | comment | added | CroCo | ^ Cont. I'm always against the policy of closing answers when it comes to beginners unless if there is a serious problem with the post. Unfortunately, some Latex profs in here pretend that Latex is friendly BUT it is not. It is difficult to master in short time. Another excuse by some profs in here is the homeworkophobia, so to speak. No one care if you type your homework in Word or Latex and I doubt that in undergrad/grad curricula there is a course regarding Latex, at least not in engineering. | |
| Mar 28, 2017 at 1:02 | comment | added | CroCo | (+1) @percusse, beautiful answer. I have a lot of stuff to say regarding this matter but the comment section is not suitable for this. When I was an absolute beginner in Latex in 2011 when my supervisor has told me to type my thesis in Latex, I was horrified because it is difficult in comparison with Microsoft Word and it takes too much time to learn it. This place was my only hope to seek answers. I saw the beauty of Latex via answers in here and because of that I became loyal to it. To be Cont. | |

| May 21, 2015 at 23:37 | comment | added | percusse | @Johannes_B I was there for a while actually latex-community.org/forum/… but didn't stick around. | |
| May 21, 2015 at 21:13 | comment | added | Johannes_B | @percusse Yes, that was indeed for you. I hoped you decide to join LC and answer some questions. :-) | |
| May 21, 2015 at 20:55 | comment | added | percusse | @Johannes_B I got pinged for this. Is it for me ? Because I couldn't put it in any context. | |
| May 21, 2015 at 19:49 | comment | added | Johannes_B | What i have wrote in the linked post nearly broke my heart knowing all the traffic and knowledge around here. latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=90007#p90007 I cannot say get over at TeX.SX, a site in a multi-million commercial network. Once i start that, the forum will die completely. Also related: tex.blogoverflow.com/2015/02/… | |
| May 15, 2015 at 23:49 | comment | added | percusse | @johannes no problem at all. I gave up already | |
| May 15, 2015 at 17:26 | comment | added | Johannes_B | Sorry, i didn't mean you. I got a bit mad about all this idiotic faffing about rules. | |
| May 15, 2015 at 17:25 | comment | added | Johannes_B | The system annoyed me a few times when discussion took place in the comments, just to clarify the question and the user needs. No, all will be said within two more comments, i don't want to drag this to chat. If a question requires How do you want this? Should that be above or below? and other details up to explaining how to open a terminal, an innovative and so-called efficient Q/A site is just not the right place. My opinion. But all you guys hang around here for rep or something and leave me alone up there, where still traffic is. Wanna answer questions? Get over there and help out. | |
| May 15, 2015 at 17:19 | comment | added | Johannes_B | I have thought a lot about all this within the last few days. You mentioned classical forums, and if you are serious about leaving TeX.SX, i very much welcome you to join LaTeX-Community. There is currently one active moderator and the admin who are regularely answer stuff. About a handful of users drops in once in a while. We could really use somebody with high knowledge answering questions, as i simply cannot manage it all by myselve. No need to rush there, no voting, no reviewing system, no predefined stock comments. | |
| May 13, 2015 at 13:47 | comment | added | cfr | I meant the comments. I thought that's what you were talking about. Not that it matters, but I didn't answer any of them. | |
| May 13, 2015 at 13:26 | comment | added | percusse | @cfr Ask a question and I'll close it after 10 minutes. Then we talk again. In the second one the question is closed after I answered. That's just nonsense. The first is also pretty clear. Again nonsense. The third one you answered yourself. Do we have to swear to the users to be rude? | |
| May 13, 2015 at 12:52 | comment | added | cfr | @Johannes_B I don't see any evidence of hostility in your comments. I don't see anything unfriendly in 2 out of 3 of those questions. In the third, I see one comment which might come across as unfriendly although I don't see any evidence for thinking it ill-motivated or hostile. | |
| May 13, 2015 at 9:48 | comment | added | percusse | @Johannes_B I would have if it was a personal issue. | |

| May 12, 2015 at 15:51 | comment | added | Johannes_B | @percusse by the way, i want to apologize if my comments came of as hostile, they were surely not meant to be. I bet you know that you could have addressed the issue personally. :-) | |

| May 12, 2015 at 15:14 | comment | added | A.Ellett | @Johannes_B What is MSE? | |
| May 12, 2015 at 14:14 | comment | added | Johannes_B | I feel this is related to overall community behaviour, not limited to the Do it for me stuff. Maybe you can even open a completely new topic? | |
| May 12, 2015 at 14:10 | comment | added | Johannes_B | Can you extend a bit on the latest edit concerning the MSE stuff? | |

| May 10, 2015 at 13:31 | comment | added | Alenanno | @percusse Ah, I haven't seen it being used. | |
| May 10, 2015 at 13:30 | comment | added | percusse | @Alenanno Who said this is a formal encounter? We are actually using for a year already. | |
| May 10, 2015 at 13:26 | comment | added | Alenanno | @percusse That made me smile, but maybe it's a bit too informal? :D | |
| May 10, 2015 at 13:23 | comment | added | percusse | @Alenanno I answer everything if I'm in the mood, otherwise I don't engage rather than preaching the religion of TeX-SX monk practice via autocomment blocks. Because somebody else might be in the mood and might write an answer. Check the text block I offered in the linked meta question on top of my answer. | |
| May 10, 2015 at 13:18 | comment | added | Alenanno | @percusse I'm not sure I got the point of your post. Are you for answering questions regardless if they have code/other info apart from an image and a request to draw it? Or are you for with some conditions? Sorry, I got both vibes from your answer. :D | |
| May 3, 2015 at 2:31 | comment | added | Gottfried William | @Sverre I actually read a good chunk of the reference manual. It's short and clear on most points. So I'd argue it's fair to suggest reading it. For it's a good suggestion. Since it exists on websites, just use FIND in your browser on a page that mirrors it. No need to even download it. | |

| May 2, 2015 at 14:47 | comment | added | percusse | @Sverre How to fish context here, is not giving terse or extremely concise answers. It is rather answering a question before OP reformulates their question hence learns how to ask properly for the next time. | |
| May 2, 2015 at 14:27 | comment | added | Sverre |
As a person who asks TikZ questions, I highly appreciate answers along the lines of teach him how to fish. If I don't understand the code in the answer given, I won't be able to use it again for similar purposes in the future. As an example, I once received a good solution to a problem I posed, but the code was (to me) so complicated that I failed to understand it. When I tried to ask for explanations of the code, I was told to "read the LaTeX2e reference manual". Needless to say, I've never used that code since.
