<p>Since I don't have to apologize for my answer, I will feel free to unabashedly express my straightforward opinion on the problem: I think a lot of people are afraid that some responders will mock and deride them and in all honesty, I have apologized in some of my questions because I have seen the evidence of people being mean, mocking, and cynical to the newbies. Regardless of the fact that CV is generally a great exclusion from this phenomenon, I have nevertheless seen this sort of behavior even here and this is why I believe some people apologize -- so all those arrogant "I know it all" insecure individuals will hone their incessant urge to put other people down and show the newbies their proper place. </p>

<p>I do not believe that either flagging, editing, or putting some sort of an obvious statement on top is going to solve the issue. Why not be honest and look at the fundamental problem lingering on here? The fewer instances of such embarrassing and immature ("Oh, that's such a primitive question") behaviors there are on here, the fewer newbies feel embarrassed and inferior and downright afraid to post their supposedly "stupid" or "incompetent" questions. It's easy to just sugarcoat the cake with some nice little candles, but it's not really going to help change its core and original flavor. </p>

<p>And please let's not pretend that arrogance and pretentiousness has never been an issue; some people just tend to use online resources to unleash their inner insecurities and ego problems. It's unfortunate they mistake this amazing source for a professional psychotherapist. That's the core problem that needs to be addressed.</p>

<p>And yes, this might be harsh, but hey, for once I don't feel the need to apologize.</p>
