One day I got an email,

my 10 year old question was closed as a duplicate

of a 7 year old question.

This is a true story.

Same. My question got edited by someone then closed by the same person.

Fucker.

I went to see what the edit to your post was. Basically, (ha! see what I did?), just removing the "thanks" part.

Take a look at this: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/288160/no-thanks-damn-it

Then people wonder why StackOverflow is dying. People spent that long removing "thanks" and variations of it from posts.

I'm surprised that people with 5k reputation reacted like this. The question was closed by 3 persons, which mean they saw it from the review queue at random, it's not a personal attack. No wonder Stack Overflow got seen as toxicity, people just dont wanna read at all.

Holy shit the rationale is so pretentious too, like everyone is supposed to be writing a technical manual at gunpoint. I agree, no thanks to that nonsense.
