<p>Yesterday, I asked a question on <a href="https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/62116/mapping-data-to-graphical-three-ways-of-representing-objects">GIS</a> about visualization and needed some examples to understand a paragraph of a book better. People commented that it has nothing to do with GIS and you better ask it on <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/60512/mapping-data-to-graphical-three-ways-of-representing-objects">cross validated</a> and a moderator closed as a duplicate of a completely irrelevant question. Since I've got no answer to my question, I asked it on cross validated as well, since people suggested so. Again, the above mentioned moderator came and closed my question as not constructive and deleted  it (they commented  it is cross-posted even though I mentioned it in the body of the question). I have no idea why people behaved naively and why I have nowhere to get satisfying answers to my questions. This is very disappointing and it's the first time I've encountered such behaviors especially from the ones who are elected to moderate the community. Stack exchange has been my most reliable to source to solve my problems and answer my questions in about a year.  </p>
