If you don't post details of your SO account so that other people can go evaluate your post/comment history for themselves, then this just comes across as evidence-free whingeing, which is the worst kind of whingeing. "I did nothing wrong, honest!" is very easy to say.

I was so close to flagging this post, but I figured I'd be generous and wait to see if you come back and give any information at all.



This makes me think it is exactly the kind of attitude that makes StackOverflow unfriendly. Your concern is valid but your post feels accusatory and dismissive.

How generous, what is your SO account details?


I'm not the one who posted complaining about maltreatment.


I didn't post the details because I was more interested in hearing if others have had the same general experience vs. a big debate on the merits of my case. Seems like many have, and now that I've seen the blog post I know SO is at least aware of the problem.
