What exactly is Superior Conditioning?

So, the post taking you to ask for being needlessly mean seems quite in target. You took time out of your day, and effort to be snarky, sarcastic and condescending, because you didn't like how someone found their answers.

They choose to utilize a resource that is know to be a reliable one to get the info they wanted. And you're taking them to task for not using some other resource that you think they should have used instead?

Do you also go to wikipedia and edit the page on 'quantum tunneling' to deride people from using wikipedia when they could instead comb through the online physics journals?

And yes, I am also taking time out to critique. But that's because I actually like the forums as a resource. I like that folks come here, because the forums as a resource have greater value if more people use it. So I think that chasing folks off the forums because they don't happen to meet your obscure criteria to be 'allowed' to ask a question here seems counter-productive to me.

*sigh*

I'm saying they shouldn't have to come to the forums to ask a question like "Is Superior Conditioning a toggle?"

That would be like you coming to the forums to ask "Is Statesman a woman?" Read. The. Power. Info. In. The. Game. That's why it's there. Don't ask stupid questions, and you won't get snarky answers.

It's not smart, cool or hip to be mean. It does not make you look smarter/cooler than the person asking what you consider to be a stupid question, it makes you look like a condescending, immature and mean person that cannot control themselves in a social setting.

You don't have to be mean you just chose to be... Brilliant....

Instead of being miss/mister cranky pants, you could have said something like "Superior Conditioning is X, and this information is found in game by doing Y or Z."

Then people wouldn't all up in your grill about it, and you wouldn't be miss/mister cranky pants, *AND* you would *TEACH* the OP how to do something s/he may not have known how to do, which means fewer questions you regard as "stupid and lazy".

Generally giving a lazy person the answer as well as instructions how to look it up themselves in the future doesn't promote them learning because they got their answer so why bother remembering how to do it themselves in the future.

Now if you just gave them the instructions how to look it up themselves could teach those who possess some motivation while those who don't have that would complain why you didn't just give them the answer.

It's like the child shouting from the other room asking Mom or Dad how to spell something every couple of minutes while they are doing their homework. At some point you have to stop answering and drop a dictionary on their desk, otherwise they will never learn. Of course this is a bad example in today's society since nearly any device you type into has some level of spell checking, including this browser.
