I don't know. Why do YOU think that is?\n\nI'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I think it is just one of those human nature things. Perhaps the answerer didn't know a good or true answer, or just wanted to show off.\n\nMaybe they just want a quick 2 points.

Yeah, I hate that too!  I answer some pretty profound questions, and try to come across as all erudite and stuff, and then sometimes I'll ask a really unenlightened (read: dumb) question and realize it afterwards.

Because too many people take things too personally! They think these questions or comments are being directed to themselves for real and feel the need to defend. The truth is they are actually defending themselves TO themselves. Everyone here is just a mirror for the inner conflict that occurs.

This is how I see it,  and it is very obvious what is happening, some behave like little kids, they do it as a form of retaliation because they feel angered that you just did not share the same belief,  or better yet the  question was challengig  their belief and proved a point so they report it.\nA product of ignorance, and stupidity.\n\nedit: that happens also with the thumbs down , the question maybe a great question or answer, but because it did not refect their belief  they thumb it down. It is very obvious why they are doing it.

I think it is because we tend to dwell on the negative comments that are made about us by taking simple statements much too personally.  One of my favorite quotes sums it up best:  "He who angers you controls you".    Sometimes we get so consumed with being angry about an action or a statement made by someone else, that we constantly think about it, we ALLOW it to bother us, and we naturally react in a negative manner.

Sometimes it is because they really want to know how others can respond to it.  A lot of questions are loaded, but that is because sometimes people have so much that they think on a subject, and that is reflected in their question.  \n\nSometimes someone does it to try to prove a point.  Sometimes it is a rhetorical question meant to bring up a point of weakness in a faith.\n\nThe answerers can shed light on the topic however to all who would read the question.  Perhaps the one asking will not listen to an objective answer, but other readers might.\n\nI think that most questions asked in this forum are sincere, and people are really seeking answers, or seeking to know how other people may answer the same question.

Because I like people who ask "Why?" We should all ask it a hell of a lot more often!\n      I want to respond to it because I know you are going to read this answer. I have your complete attention at this very moment. Much better than an actual conversation; usually the person you're speaking to is only waiting for you to finish so they can jump in again.

That is exactly why I mostly just answer anymore.  I love asking questions.  It is much more fun.  But I kept getting violations for perfectly harmless inate questions!   I really laugh when I get a violation on a resolved question from over a month ago!   Seriously it happened!

There could be several reasons. For example, they could have nothing better to do with their lives than take a perfectly innocent question and cry "Foul!" because they don't agree with how it's worded or spelled.  Another might be because they have been so used to questions about more disgusting topics that when a cleaner one comes up they don't know how to handle it.

Sometimes, but it could also mean that you asked a question that was really none of your business.  Also, maybe the person can think of retorts but chooses to take a more mature stance rather than waste their time exchanging insults.

Only when people make an ass of themselves..Like, I hate it when someone gives you a smartass remark back to your question..

Yeah some people just have to be rude. I think it's because they have no lives or anything better to do. I mean people on here sometimes ask "questionable" questions, but it's set up as a question and answer forum so people can ask what they want and others can choose what they answer. Personally if I come across a question that is even too "questionable" for me, I continue to scroll rather than provide the asker of the question with some snide remark. So to all the people that think someone is asking a question with an obvious answer or that a persons question is dumb, grow up, that's what we're all here for to ask whatever question we want to get feedback, not your useless, ignorant comments. Quit being such smart alecks, you don't know the background of who is on the other end of the computer asking the question. Stop criticizing grammar and spelling and being so condescending. None of us is perfect. All the best.

Some people just like to stir things up by asking a question that will get a rise out of people.\n\nOn the other hand, people sometimes like to answer a question to get a rise out of the asker.\n\nNow which one is this?
