May I use the title of Stack Overflow questions as my blog post title?

Why does casperOne close ALL of the best questions on Stack Overflow?

• Roughly half the times Google takes me to Stack Overflow for a question I have, I find the answer I'm looking for, but it's been "closed as not constructive" by casperOne. Would it kill him to just let people find the information they're looking for? Some examples of the types of things I've found, which are helpful to me, but the question got shut down (I can't remember them all, of course): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/170921/should-i-learn-python-2-before-3-or-start-directly-from-python-3 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1429907/workflow-for-statistical-analysis-and-report-writing http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1738087/what-can-matlab-do-that-r-cannot-do http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1189759/expert-r-users-whats-in-your-rprofile http://stackoverflow.com/questions/102056/how-to-search-for-r-materials http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5465314/tools-for-making-latex-tables-in-r http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1072884/whats-the-best-matlab-equivalent-open-source-or-otherwise-free I understand these do not fit into the strict definitions of Stack Overflow etiquette, but is it hurting the users that much that moderators need to delete questions which have already helped hundreds of people?

• Answer:

  casperOne is a moderator. He seems to specialize in C#/.NET, so if you're searching for stuff in that area, you're more likely to encounter him than other moderators that specialize in other areas. If you have a legitimate beef against why questions are closed, bring it up on http://meta.stackoverflow.com.  I'm not active in C#/.NET, so I've never seen anything he's closed, so I don't know if you have a legitimate complaint. Maybe if you provided some examples, it would help to get an idea if they were legitimately closed or not. Have a look at the Stack Overflow Help Center, specifically the http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic and http://stackoverflow.com/help/dont-ask pages, and you can see that every one of those questions you asked about fits the very definition of questions that do not belong on Stack Overflow. Every single one of them is subjective, argumentative, or asking for a comparison between two things rather than showing a specific programming problem and asking for help solving it.  If I'd seen them first, I would have voted to close and them too. So would anybody else who understands what it takes to keep Stack Overflow's laser-like focus on making it the best site for answering questions rather than having discussions.
