The other day I was skimming through posts by other readers/posters, you know, just surfing the web, and I saw a few other posters answering posted questions, but in a not-so-nice way. In my opinion, I think if you feel that the question is silly or whatever you want to call it, you should take advantage of your right not to answer it if you're going to do it in a disrespectful way....Tell me what you think.

I have answered one or two with attitude but only because I previewed their profile and discovered that person has answered peoples questions with disrespect and sometimes inappropriate comments. I do avoid questions obviously meant to stir up peoples emotions regarding race, gender,etc.

Yahoo Answers is for entertainment purposes only. Viewer discretion is advised. Sometimes it is really fun to answer sarcastically because the asker asks sarcastically! Some if it is not really real. If anyone posts a question on here, be prepared for stupid answers. It's the nature of the game. Keep in mind, it is also our right TO answer it because once it's posted it becomes public property.

If people write a question they must want to know how someone truly feels. There is a difference between being disrespectful and answering the question. I myself have turned people in for rude and crude answers that had nothing to do with a question. That is disrespectful. Answering the question and showing your feelings is not disrespectful

I think they do it "because they can"...and maybe they're afraid to voice their opinions in real life and use this Yahoo Answers thing as a tool for escape. Maybe it helps them to unleash frustration, to the dismay of the Asker...but I really think this website here is helpful to all people. I think if they can get their frustrations out on here, then maybe their real lives will be a little more peaceful. I've thought this before and here's my opportunity to express my opinion on it. I feel better now...

You have to admit, some of the questions on Yahoo! Answers are just *incomprehensible*. I think that users have a right to communicate what they think about a person's question. They don't have to be disrespectful about it, but they should have the opportunity to communicate honestly.

OK - I think yahoo answers is such like a street your question is such like an action and the answers is such like a reaction so it depend on how others may see or measure your action and how will their behaviors , thoughts , morals will figure out their reactions and the askwer have to see all reactions and only take what he think that it is usefull for him ..

Some ill posed questions are not only factually incorrect in there implications, but they are obviously asked in a manner that will deliver the questioner his preconceived ideas back as conformation.

I'm afraid that the type of answer reflects the quality of the question, and the quality of the behavior from the person who"s answering.
