    Somebody may want an answer and once they get it don’t want the other replies to keep notifying them.

    No I don’t do this. But it’s remarkable that all the lemmykins arguing with me and down-voting me simply can’t see things from another person’s pov.

      • the first answer is often not the best one
      • don’t take away the discussion from others

      I’m sure we can see that point of view, we just refuse it because it’s such a mean pov

        I mean… I don’t disagree but you’re arguing against somebody who is not here. I honestly don’t know what you expect in response. If you want people to behave a certain way you can either:

        a) Say they’re stupid and change nothing and continue to bitch about the problem or

        b) Understand why they’re doing what they do and try to address it.
