I believe you are missing what's actually at issue here.

Lets just look at this thread:

New poster asks help for a homework problem without saying so

Different list members express concern/annoyance with this

[NO technological (3 different technologies) issues here yet]

This -- annoyance+answers -- continues for while until it morphs into GG-annoyance

The *context* of the earlier annoyance -- kid asking for homework help
without clearly saying so -- is lost in the GG annoyance.

Now GG is clearly annoying
As are kids who ask for homework help without saying so

¿¿Whats the connection??
