and in some cases we form opinions about peoples character based on their responces...
(he is cynical...she is a fool...he is desperate...she is lonely...)
are you basing your opinions of anothers character based on their Q/A?
Do you aviod one persons Q/A...and seek out anothers?

I try not to make judgements about people without getting to know them but sometimes here, it is difficult not to.
Some questions and answers are just so over the top, shallow, offensive or just plain stupid that you cant help but form a bad opinion of that person.
I dont avoid individuals Q/A's but I may not give them the merit they deserve in comparison to people who word themselves well.
This is the second judgemental answer for me today, I need chocolate, its just not nice to form opinions about people without knowing them.
Saying all that, I am right now trying to analyze why you would want to know this? Are you for or against passing judgement upon people by reading their Q/A's.?Therefore I am now judging you, lol.
Getting that chocolate.

Actually you can get an idea about a person from the questions they ask. Although the actual question will vary, the tone and content will lead to insights about some of the people. You can't know everything about them but you can get an idea about their overall demeanor. There is one or two in particular that I see as being extremely superficial and interested in little more than their narrow little view of the segment of the gay community that they hang around with and tend to judge everyone by the actions of a few elitist little twits. I'll answer the questions from time to time but honestly, with that person, I believe I am wasting my breath. They are 30 years old and already "know everything they need to know", I'd really love to see them in about 10 years after the "pretty" wears off.

Yes, I do all the time. Does that make me superficial too? (Or did you have me in mind for "desperate"?)
Sometimes I think you can get a clearer view of a person from their answers than either their questions or their profile, because they're not necessarily putting out deliberately what they want others to perceive, but sometimes what they really think. I don't particularly avoid people's questions if I don't think I like them, though, or even if I don't like the question. You can give a good answer to a bad question (and vice versa).

To be honest I think we all do that. Its another form of judging or labeling people without really knowing anyone on here. I try not to avoid any particular person's questions or even answers. I try to get as much information as I can so that I can answer the question the best way that I can. Just certain questions call out to me or I feel I have a good anwser for it.

Yes, I openly avoid some characters on here...mostly just the bashers who get a thrill from being reported..I don't like their questions why should I reward them with an answer or a report?
And yes I have favourites ---for a variety of reasons...some I think are lonely...some I think are sexy...some-----

Some people are very nasty and sarcastic when answering questions which gets me curious why they are angry. So, in that sense I guess I do judge or form an opinion. Not usually by one reply but if I see their name over and over in the same context.

Yes, I certainly do. I think I've got a fairly good read on you (don't worry . . . I like you), and of course, you can weed out the bashers and idiots in an instant. A lot of people on here get my respect and love, and I almost feel like I know them.

I don't think I judge their character as much as : 1)desparation 2) stupidity 3) ignorance 4) pitifulness 5) a liar....I think that pretty much sums it up.

No, I don't think I avoid a particular persons questions or gravitate towards another. I just pick out questions that interest me or that I think I can answer intelligently.

yes, I sometimes do, because most of the time teh questions and answers people post say a lot about them. Im not saying all of them do, but you can tell the difference between serious questions and stupid ones.
