I think its an interesting question. She has a daily question limit so I thought I'd ask so it doesn't go against her limit.

well, yeah...
I have often wondered why vociferous atheists hang out here, and when the question is asked, as we know, livers are damaged. But I don't think that there is ANY question that is not responded to partly according to the tone of the question. That's human nature---and the effect is only magnified when the discussion revolves around an emotionally-charged subject like religion, (or politics)...
People that ask snotty questions can expect a less-polite answer from me---tho I rarely say anything stronger than "sheesh'. Atheists with honest misconceptions get a polite answer. humor is hopefullly met with humor. And "fundies" who embarass the rest of us saner Christians are told, politely, that they are making the rest of us look like idiots...

Yes, it effects it greatly. I of course have little to no way of knowing for sure what someone's reason for thier question is, but I do often seem to gauge it correctly.
If the person seems to genuinely want an answer, then I at times put more effort into giving them a detailed answer.
I try to always be polite, even when it's REALLY hard, and sometimes I fail at it.

some all human beings is inspired to respond as many questions as they are in a position to with a view to get factors. As for myself, i do no longer do it in common terms for the climate. I do it thinking I desire to help human beings out any which approach i will. i've got generally enjoyed helping women and adult males ever thinking the actual indisputable fact that i used to be merely a sprint lady. It provides me a intense-high quality experience of worth and boosts my self-esteem. What approximately you? what's the inducement at the back of answering questions in Yahoo solutions?

Yes, answers I give usually follow the tone of the question. Many don't deserve an answer since they are merely trolls trying to get a rise out of people.

I think it does. If I know the question is meant sarcastically to try to trap or insult others, I will be more sarcastic or snappy in my answer.
If I know the question is asked out of curiousity or a desire for information, I'm more patient, sincere, and explanatory.
I'm interested to see other answers...

Of course it does!
Sometimes the appropriate answer to the same question asked by two different people, with two different motivations can range from a hug to a slap.

Yes. I am not JW, but of course it does. If someone asks with sincerity, I try to answer sincerely.
If it is mocking, I do not even bother.
If someone makes a good-natured ribbing sort of joke, I can play along.

Yes, it does. Problem and fireball's answers are pretty much the way I look at things.
If someone asks, "Why are Christians such imbeciles so as to believe in a fairy tale?"....I will try to be overly kind, but inside I am hurt.
