Comment on Why would anyone downvote a question on No Stupid Questions?

The worst are the troll questions. They’re just meant to stir flamewars in the comments. No one, specially the OP, is interested in the actual answer.

Sometimes, OP already knows exactly what answer(s) they’ll get, they just want to

See who will give the answer, possibly for tagging purposes

  Sure, but let’s imagine. If there’s a conference somewhere (it doesn’t matter what it is about), and you go there and start screaming on a loudspeaker anti con-topic questions to try to make someone to punch you in the face. You will get punched in the face and then kicked out, probably banned for life, from said conference.
  
  Now, you could argue, that you were trying to get the most toxic people in the con to mask-off themselves. But you will still be just an asshole. It’s unhinged behavior, you are the toxic people in the comm. There are rules and a purpose to the space, so don’t cry and whine when you get kicked out when you break such rules.
