I try to make an effort to scan through [Worst Nodes] everyday to correct unfair negative votes, and<br />
I just wanted to say that there seems to be a lot of negative votes that seem spiteful lately. I don't<br />
like it. It's just my personal opinion, but here is an <a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=17109">example</a> from [MAS4891].
<br /><br />
Granted, I understand he asked a question that he could have simply looked up in docs, at least mention that<br />
when you vote someone down. Say "Your answer is here" and provide a pointer to where they can look<br />
it up themselves. Many beginners ask instead of reading the documentation because it makes more sense to<br />
hear it from a human, and they don't always know where to look.<br /><br />
Please, let's be compassionate and understanding of our beginners.<br />We are all beginners at something.

Thanks for hearing me out.
