> Because they usually can.

I wonder if I can't write coherent English, or if you can't understand it. You keep fighting to not understand what people complain about.

They complain about good questions being closed, you say "that's because they are bad questions". They say that they don't complain about bad questions being close, you say "that's because we don't close bad questions".

Sure sounds like you don't really know what you are trying to say other than "we are great".

Because they have not shown that they understand what a good question is, or what the standards are. Or because they presume that they are the ones who should get to say what makes a question good or not.

>you say "that's because we don't close bad questions".

????? I said nothing of the sort.

>other than "we are great".

This, too, is your wording, not mine.

But, again. Show concrete examples in a suitable manner, or there is nothing to discuss.

How is this not something of that sort?

> Because they usually can. There aren't enough curators paying attention. Stopping them generally requires three curators to find the same question and act on it before an answer is posted.
