I answered the question of Who is evilest Hitler or G.W. why was my answer black balled?

Question

My answer was "too absurb to answer"
It was a ludicrous question! I do not believe there is much in comparison. That is my belief if you believe different, then we will agree to disagree. How was my answer offensive or didn't pass the smell test?

Thank you all for your perspectives. I suppose I will need to elaborate more on my answers. This was the first time I have been deleted. It is interesting that people can not acccept anothers opinion with out exploding.

Answer 1

probably because the person flagged you for not answering the question.

There is one user (who uses multiple accounts by the way) who has the word "crypto" in their name. this user LOVES to report anyone who disagrees with them and uses the TOS rule saying answers must be on topic. by not giving a response which picked one or the other you were in violation. it is petty but that's how small some users are.

So I make it a point to include an answer even after explaining how ridiculous the question is and pointing out the flaws. Then I can't violate TOS (as long as I do not directly insult or slander the person in question).

Best piece of advice lean to recognize a troll and learn how to beat them at their own game.

best of luck.

Answer 2

I answered a similar question with a description of the differences between the two and got 3 thumbs down. Go figger!

Answer 3

i started to answer with something like you are new around here then I peeked at your site and you've been around longer than I have.

I have had several answers like that deleted and have never understood how it happened.
I thought you had to get more than one "report" to get deleted and if I were to use foul language I would expect to get deleted but not because the questioner didn't LIKE my answer.
I don't want to sound like a conspiracy nut but some strange stuff goes on around here.

Like around 10 pm the young communist league comes on and don't dare to challenge them on any thing.

real strange place.

May be we need a visit from Skully and Muldere.

Answer 4

simply because we have kids making silly questions up just to try and say they know something.. when you prove them wrong they act like children.

second this also happens alot when you don't agree on a womans stand when she is just fluffing her feathers and trying to make a stand for womans rights.. That is always an immediate report as they are people who just have one thing on their mind and that is to deface men.

pretty sad in both issues.. but the result is the same.. they act like children.

Answer 5

We Americans have an arrogance about us that causes us to see any suggestion of evil in our system (whether real or not) as unpatriotic or just plain disgusting. We would be well served to get a grip on our opinion of ourselves and open up the mind to all opinion and questions, no matter how distasteful they might appear.

Answer 6

Actually someone probably disagreed that the question was absurd, which it was. Some people abuse the report button.

Answer 7

That question was too absurd to answer. People are childish around here.

Answer 9

The asker was probably reporting anyone that disagreed with him so he looked a little less stupid.

Answer 10

Probably a Hitler fan disliked him being compared to the likes of Bush.

Absurd? Bush is evil. He does his dirty deeds for money. At least Hitler committed his atrocities for something he believed in, however wrong it was. Bush does his dirty deeds out of greed and ego maniac-ism.
