Heh I've had similar at work as well. I guess that's the problem with trying to get input from people in a different context. They're going to focus on what's helpful for them not you.
This morning I checked the chat and multiple people were blaming me for being a **** and saying the original guy was fine.
I don't understand how a question where I say I'll have a rental car and I'm looking for an area with good parking gets an answer about being convenient to public transportation and then I'm the bad guy for calling that out.
Sometimes I just hate the internet.
