I posted a question on YA advocating one side of an argument and got 6 answers telling me I was wrong. Later I posted a question advocating the other side of the same question and once again got 8 or 10 answers telling me I was wrong. Not one looked just at the merits of the question.

Rhonda, I agree with you that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but my experiment seems to indicate that some people are not giving their true opinions.

You"ve been talking to my mother haven't you!
Some people do it just to flap their jaws...really annoying though.

Nobody likes to be told they are wrong and you're not because you believe what you want to believe. You ask a question and the person can only say what they believe, so by asking you are getting a lot of other people's beliefs, which can alter your belief. But isn't that why you asked the question in the first place?
