Attack of the #StackExchange Process Nazi's

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44159709/c-implementation-quick-sort?answertab=oldest#tab-top





#stackexchange process nazi's unaware that the objective of a quick sort algorithm is to sort, quickly. Immediate, unhelpful overreaction to question asker and me the attempted helper. 

He just wanted an answer, he didn't provide enough information and my response wasn't in the "correct" spirit of other people's judgement so he couldn't get the help he needed.

Another sad example of petty. lonely introverts with a smidgen of power over others.

This is the explanation for justified heavy-handedness:


In April 2009, Stack Exchange implemented a policy of "timed suspension",[26] in order to curtail users who either show "No effort to learn (the community rules) and improve over time" or engage in "disruptive behavior" and become a nuisance. The suspension is accompanied by temporarily setting the user's reputation score at '1' and a notation on the user's profile page indicating the suspension and remaining duration.

And yet, this user didn't care about any of that, he just needed help.  #Sad
