This is perhaps a little slanted towards the user who answered the question. Here goes:
I've been caught between a temptation to answer and a desire to close before, and I agree it can be an uncomfortable place to be! If only the asker had taken the time to write a better question, but alas, here you are, with a solution burning a hole in your pocket and a ...

I can't comment on the mathematics of your question because I don't know logic, but I can critique your writing.
Is there something offensive in the style of my writing?
I wouldn't say your writing is offensive, but you need to work on clarity and brevity. To me, the question reads a lot like a direct transcription of from your own notes, or even a ...

Good evening!
I am of the opinion that social throat-clearing, salutations, and other little niceties are mostly inappropriate on Math SE. Questions should be to the point, and avoid chit-chat. The goal here is to have a repository of knowledge. The original authorship and social lubrication is irrelevant to this goal, hence these kinds of comments don't ...

As said already in general, including material not related to the subject matter of the post is discouraged. Even though, historically, this site was actually more lenient than other SE sites regarding this.

I am promoting my comments to an answer, as this came up again in CURED again today.
My flowchart is as follows:
Is the question of sufficient quality to keep on the site?
Yes. Go to step 2.
No. If a question is of low-quality, then vote-to-close for lack of quality (e.g. vote one of "needs context", "unclear", "too broad", etc). If a question is not of ...
