I've always been a "lurker" on all platforms and communities because when I do have a question or would like to contribute my first thought has become:

Actually, let me google it first

In which case I'll usually have some answer. Usually it isn't a complete answer but enough for me to not want to share my question anymore.

I would like a hard rule that there's no stupid question. If you don't want to help someone, just ignore it.

No need to add a negative comment town discussion.
