Found a Stack Overflow question that matched my problem with no answer. Figured it out on my own, started to write an answer, but stopped, because SO has been unwelcoming to me before. We all lose out on knowledge when you make some people feel unwelcome.

@bellebcooper How was SO unwelcoming to you? I've always had good interactions, which of course doesn't mean anything since that's only my experience.

@noeldemartin The same sort of condescending comments you often see on SO questions, and an unempathetic experience with a mod. Nothing major, but the tone of existing comments made me wary to start with so that really turned me off.

@bellebcooper @noeldemartin I'd suggest that you only leave the answer and mute all replies 😎
