Why will some people answer questions they do not like?

Well, that is why people do this...to sharpen sarcasm skills. But I have come to find that only I think that I am funny, so I try to be honest and thoughtful most of the time. Besides, I do not like reading trashy questions over and over again on my Questions and Answers History,  thus, I have to really consider the questions I answer.  (I like your question; I will not mind seeing it on my history.)

At this point, those that e-mail you from on here and don't confirm their e-mail so you can't respond (I'm sure they do it on purpose so they can get the last word in),  Then the ones that e-mail you about something you answered but don't say which one. Umm... I have answered over 5000 questions you need to be a TAD more specific if you want and answer! GRR...

A lot of people answer questions to receive points. I found that out with a few I have asked. So I just read them and laugh. Its not like they are ruining my day and maybe they had nothing better to do. I also say...If you ask a question...you should be prepared to receive answers you may not necessarily agree or disagree with. Those that have answered your question ignorantly or negatively  might have a different opinion of their answer.

Because there are a lot of moronic people answering questions. Sometimes I'm one of them. But just remember your not always going to agree or like what they say. That's when you ignore them. By the way congrats on the big day.

i think they do it to make themselves look better. the only time I give a thumbs down is if the person is just being rude or otherwise obnoxious in their answer. Personally I think it's pretty dumb to do.

Probably because there are some ignorant people out there.  There are some people who genuinely come to "Y Answers", looking for serious answers.  While others view it as an opportunity to ask irrelevant or sometimes disgusting questions.  Therefore, when you have a good number of people being silly and derogatory in their questions, you'll get silly and derogatory responses, and at times those people will spill over onto questions that are quite sincere.  I'm not trying to excuse anyone's behavior. I'm just thinking maybe that's the reason why so many people act so immature on here.  I must admit, though, that it doesn't bother me as much anymore because there are 10 responsible, fun and respectful people for every one of those ignorant ones.

Someone must have a grudge and are reporting your question and answers. I guess that some stupid people enjoy doing that!

Sorry you are experiancing this. Someone must not be comfortable with you or your views. I'm not really suprised though, it seems some people will do anything to  prevent a person from speaking for themself and presenting a reasonable point of view. If they want to ask silly questions (which can be fun) let them do it for themself.

Some people are just miserable and have to be rude about everything just because to them it is fun and give them pleasure.  Just ignore or report it.  But, that is what happens with the freedom of speech. But, even you have to admit that some of the questions that people ask. Are somewhat idiotic.  They asked the question and got around about way the same answer. But, then their are just plain normal questions that are getting answered stupid. But, everyone has the right to answer. Sorry, babe,  ignoring is going to be the best way out of it.

I think a lot of people want to answer questions that no one is asking them.  So they create "questions" that allow them to express themselves.

hasnt happened to me yet; people who ask questions want to hear things that they agree with, and if they dont \nAH! its the end of the world. \nbut its okay, im sure that you give fine answers, people are just wierd like that.
