Anyone else feel this post is a bit suspicious?

Seems like it's just trying to bait people, but could be wrong

@Draken rings a few alarm bells for me.. not quite enough that I would flag it based on this alone, see if any pattern develops

Q: My colleague has the window open all day and it's cold

I share my office with another male colleague, I am a guy too. His window is open and it's cold, very cold. I am coughing, my feet are cold and my back hurts. How can I tell my colleague without looking like a wimp ? If I tell him I will lose any respect from anyone in the office.

^ seriously?!?

@Draken If it's bait, it's very bad bait.

folks, can you help me make sense of this edit suggestion? looks like attempt to vandalise an answer but maybe I missed something?

motosubatsu

@gnat I'm not sure if it's out and out vandalism but rather a seriously misguided attempt to respond to the answer using the edit function, either way it's not appropriate and I've rejected

Q: How can I delete a comment on a "locked" question?

I wrote some comments on a question that subsequently got locked: Choosing between two job offers: big brand vs smaller more fulfilling role In an effort to not contribute to "our comment problem", I like to go back and clean up any comments after they have been read. But since the question is no...

@Gintas maybe things will recover, but unfortunately, we are seeing the long term effects of efforts to "improve" the site which got many people upset.
