Timeline for Alright folks... Once again, not liking the perspective of the OP is not a reason to close a question

| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:28 | comment | added | apaul | Closing for an accurate/appropriate reason is also important. | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:27 | comment | added | apaul | Educating the OP about a misconception is often a big part of answering on this site. | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:26 | comment | added | Catija Mod | How about rather than arguing that the question is perfect, you fix it? That's the entire point of putting something on hold. The OP isn't the only one who can edit things. | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:24 | comment | added | apaul | @NVZ I was thinking of the exact post. | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:23 | comment | added | NVZ | I was recently in my recent meta answered by Robert Cartaino that it's not necessary to be pedantic about how a question is phrased, but it's necessary to understand OP's point. Or, am I interpreting it wrong? | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:23 | comment | added | apaul | Both answers are, more or less, "No" or "don't" I guess they don't seem all that different. | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:23 | comment | added | Catija Mod | No. Not really. One is admitting that they know they did something wrong and asking how to fix it. The other is giving people the chance to say "you did it correctly and your girlfriend is nuts, DTMFA". | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:22 | comment | added | apaul | It seems like an issue of semantics... Did I do this right? vs How can I do this next time? They're effectively the same question, in the the long run. | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:19 | comment | added | Catija Mod | No. There literally is no question in this question... this is the definition of the "This is what I think, am I right?" question. Our opinions on this will not make the OP's girlfriend OK with this excuse. The OP could also ask why was it not OK... that might be OK... but asking whether it's OK or not when the answer for his girlfriend is clearly "No" is not a question. | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:17 | comment | added | NVZ | If it were instead, asking us to guess how she would react, then that's asking for a multitude of answers. | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:16 | comment | added | Catija Mod | No. If the OP instead asked what to do about it the next time, knowing that his girlfriend was not OK with it, that would be fine... "My girlfriend got mad at me when I cancelled a meet up with her because I was tired, how should I frame this the next time I am too tired to meet with her to prevent her from getting mad again?" | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:14 | comment | added | NVZ | So, the answers were helping OP understand the reason for her being upset. How can there be different answers here? I don't think there are. | |
| Oct 4, 2017 at 3:13 | comment | added | apaul | Wouldn't all questions about romantic relations suffer the same fate? | |
