Serious question: how many answers have you posted on Stack Overflow?
Because people standing from the sidelines telling me what I should and shouldn't be doing with my spare time leaves more than a little bad taste in my mouth.
So basically you have no experience what it's like to be answering questions? Most answers come from a fairly dedicated group of people who check the site most days, not from the occasional strays.
I'm not saying that people answering questions are always right or always have the final say, but it's easy to have strong opinions on what's "better for the community" if you're not the one doing the legwork or have to deal with the fallout from that.
I certainly would never be saying that sort of stuff unless I had put in the work. My balls just aren't big enough I guess.

Asked a few, answered a few, same as most people I suppose.
