I recently asked a question about VBA which was put on hold as Off Topic.

Pass Case Argument to Sub - VBA

•This question does not appear to be about computer software …

Except it is about using Microsoft Excel & VBA which is … computer software.

I feel that Harrymc downvoted and closed my question because I downvoted his answer which was incomplete and incorrect. I was writing an answer as he answered and I immediately knew his answer wasn't correct as I had solved the problem myself.This seems like a flagrant abuse of power and has once again pushed me away from SU. (If I could I'd ask all my questions on Unix & Linux, but VBA just doesn't apply!).

I know there is StackOverflow but is VBA questions not on-topic for SU? I see there is a VBA tag with lots of activity and non-closed questions which leads me to believe it is.

HarryMC also commented it's a "beginner coding error" but I consider it a Minimal, Reproducible Example and I have been coding VBA for about 6 months now, using "Case" statements is not exactly beginnger, trust me you should see some of my earlier code!

I'd also appreciate understanding of "without general interest for our readers." comment, does that mean that only questions which are of help to general public are on topic? I also consider myself very good a wording titles of question to make them likely to appear high in search results and think this doesn't apply, even if that is the rule.

Rant Over...
