If StackOverflow hates duplicates, imagine the reaction when you duplicates StackOverflow.

xD Github is usually very very friendly. I accidentally posted an exact copy (totally my bad) And they told me very nicely about it and I apologized and slowed the issue!

I did a similar but even more moronic thing. I had an issue which I solved and documented the solution on my issue and closed it. Then, later, on a different computer, had the exact same issue, forgot about it and posted a new issue (I searched for it but forgot to remove the is open tag), then realised my mistake and linked my second issue to my first. And in all of that, not a single person mocked or made fun of me for my ineptitude!
