Don't you hate it when someone asks a "question" that is really just a quickie preach-spam?

I wouldn't say that I HATE it, but it does make me shake my head and think "what a waste of bandwidth".\n\nI generally ignore those once I've identified that that's what they are.\n\nOf course, some are so egregious that I can't help but respond.

Me too - I get really sick of people criticizing your questions and the way you ask them and then going: "2 POINTS!" I know that my question may be opinion based, but you don't have to answer in really rude tones, before ending it off with: "Thanks for the 2 points!", it's not just annoying but it's a waste of time for both me and you. So why don't save us the stupidity, and don't answer if you haven't got an opinion or a thought. This is not all about making the points...

THAT IS WHAT WE CALL SPAMMING! SPAMMING IS NOT A GOOD IDEA AS A JOKE!

sounds as if you are venting rather than asking a question???

I agree with you. I think people do it to accumulate points rather than present a worthwhile and thought out answer. I asked some serious questions and received some smart aleck answers myself. Some of them displayed quite a sense of humor, though! It's what we make it, just like anything in life...

Why don't you frame your question with some examples of this so called..."mumbo jumbo"? This exrapolating and rationalizing? Its so easy to toss out this rhetorical question that is really a statement meant to pigion hole everyone together in order to be written off as inconsistant mumbo jumbo-ers rather than admit that are people willing, ready and able to talk about these subjects..because there are questions...never mind...you're probably an atheist. Trying to reason with one o ya'll is like tryin ta nail Jello to a tree. An excersize in futility. By the way..the term mumbo jumbo is really sophomoric and signifies that you are too lazy to even try and understand. ~J~ <><

I agree totally they are here to be cynical without license and to mock and to gain points, some people who ask questions in this category are in need of guidance of any kind and ask whatever is troubling them, it's like praying when times are hard, people should be a little kinder on here I think.

When someone asks a stupider question than you.

Is there a real question here?  Reads like you are just venting about something that's made you angry.

What kind of question is this?I find it offensive

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.

Excellent point.....however, bulletins boards aren't all set up with the focus of "ask a question, get an answer".......a'lot of what you see here is simply window dressing.......creating a niche within a niche, if you will.
