    multiple people edited my question to change the grammar and take out the thanks and smiley at the end

    Well, the Welcome Tour tells you that SO is about “just questions and answers”. This facilitates finding a question that’s written as concise as possible, checking its answer, and leaving. SO is deliberately not like a forum.

    SE seems too heavily focusing on helping a “generic public” rather than the actual people asking the questions.

    This is just another consequence of not being a forum. Of course SO wants questions to be helpful to as many people as possible. I don’t see how that is a bad thing.

    If you want a laxer approach to handling quality, consider if you’ve ever found useful information on yahoo answers.
