How do people on here feel when other people on here ask stupid questions?

It isn't possible to judge questions as stupid or otherwise. Some questions are asked by people, maybe young people, lacking sufficient experience to phrase the question in a readable fashion; others are asked by those for whom English isn't a first language, and so on. Contributors need to try to work out what the inquirer is intending to ask; sometimes this might require more than one answer in order to cover possible alternatives. You can't always make a decision on how the question should read, so it mightn't be appropriate to alter the question to something you think it should say. We all just do our best, and stay open-minded. Questions which are nonsense, or vandalism, or otherwise inappropriate, are frequently perfectly obvious, but others can look wrong to our eyes but be meant in an honest, inquiring manner. I recently answered a question asking how to cook a leather jacket on a barbecue. At first glance it looked like a nonsense question, but you have to consider all possibilities and a quick investigation showed a leatherjacket (one word) is a kind of fish, so I gave information on cooking it. quit trying to sound smart. no one is impressed and ull always be a virgin
