I created this to counter the large number of "not programming related" closures on P.SE because they pertained to a more general business sense. – Josh K Apr 2 '11 at 22:07

	I'm assuming the fleshed-out question would have details on how it actually affects the asker, so voted on-topic. – Matthew Read Aug 8 '11 at 19:03
	@Matthew Read: It was based on a programmers.stackexchange question, and yes, it had more detail on the imact of the co-worker on the entire work environment. – FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Aug 8 '11 at 19:05

I would be interested to know why someone thought this wasn't a good example. I added it because there is a closed question on P.SX suggesting it would be good for here: programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/92599/… – Mark Booth Jul 18 '11 at 18:35

@Mark Booth: Looking at the other questions, it looks like someone just went down the list and voted everything as "not a good example", with no explanations. – FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Jul 19 '11 at 15:59

@Mark Booth - I'd say it was "not a good example" because there is nothing for you to worry about: their lies will find themselves out – warren Jul 19 '11 at 19:26

@Warren: Ideally, yes, they would, in time. I think the original question that sparked this suggestion was more specific in details. – FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Jul 19 '11 at 20:00

@Warren - Just because you think it is simple does not mean everyone else does. That is the point of an SE to get people together that understand and can communicate to answer the questions of those who do not. – Chad Aug 10 '11 at 13:06

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.

This is probably better for the Personal Finance and Money stack exchange, which I didn't know about at the time of posting this question. – John with waffle Sep 7 '11 at 13:08

Good off-topic example, like @John said it's probably better suited to a finance Q/A. – Josh K Sep 15 '11 at 21:02

Change it from a judgement about your feelings to a "how do you deal with?" question and I think it would be on topic. – Chad Aug 3 '11 at 17:35

Off topic: Pertains to a professional field directly. – Josh K Apr 2 '11 at 22:11

not a good example: so far off-topic that you shoudln't expect to get questions like this in this specific site more than on any other completely unrelated (too) site. – Lohoris Aug 3 '11 at 7:06
