If you post a question here, how it should be answered by the respondents?

Question

Is it based on personal experiences, thru certain references like books & journals, or just anything you want to say to EARN POINTS including unnecessary comment like “racial insult”? Consider the fact that we don’t know exactly who we responding to and all we can see in the page are the physical questions and avatars; and that everyone is entitled for "freedom of expression".

Answer 1

Not sure if there was a question there, but as with any answer I give, I can only speak for me. I lost interest in collecting points after I was awarded five best answers in a row in one day. Not bragging, but it actually felt kinda good to have given a serious answer, based on personal experience (my own) and saw that it was able to help someone, even a stranger.

After that, I stopped "just answering for points." I would read the questiosn, find one that interested me, read it to see if I could offer insight to their situation and chose to answer.

There are some that get joking answers simpley because their questions are meant to illicit such a response.

So, from my side, I simply offer an opinion. Do with it what you will. I only hope I can give an honest answer that is helpful when that it was is asked for.

The Dude.

Answer 2

I think answers should either be an honest attempt to provide useful information or humorous.

The information should come from something reliable like personal experience or known reference material. Humor is okay because laughter is good medicine.

Garbage should not be included in answers. Constitutional rights to freedom of speech do not exist in private forums. The Bill of Rights are restrictions on the government, i.e. only the government can violate the Bill of rights.

Answer 3

people should feel free to be sarcastic or funny,but refrain from condemning the asker with stereotyping assumptions or name calling and consider that maybe an ignorant person is trying to understand or assess a situation for themselves and is entitled to his or her own different opininons and should recieve the same dignity, you expect to be treated with
also remember people may give non offensive answers, but you wont like or want to hear what they have to say, and askers should refrain from asking questions ,that are begging for validation or agreement, if a contrary answer is going to piss them off, cause this site is yahoo answers ,not yahoo tell me what I want to hear.

Answer 4

I like to answer like my mom or dad is going to be reading this...no...my sweet little grandmother!!

Polite but to the point...including and not limited to if the asker writes like an uneducated idiot!!

but hey...thanks for asking 8-)

Answer 5

I usually only respond to the ones with cute faces emphasized with hot, red lipstick. The only score I'm interested in exists behind her unzipped zipper.

If she's not a she and really a fat, repugnant prisoner from jail. I'll go in a corner and cry: "why God? Why Me!"

Answer 6

i personally read all question's carefully, if i cannot respond to the question then i will by-pass that question, the bottom line is you don't say (I don't know to a question) if you don't know don't the answer.

Answer 7

It should be answered accordingly with the question.

Answer 8

I agree, you never know who is going to answer, or how, or what bag they are jumping out of?

Answer 9

I answer all questions like a stupid bad boy. How about you?

Answer 10

My answer is : who knows?, could be...,good point, I will,you're right & so true... , respectively...
