Should people post when they mark you down?

People usually only disagree with me when it's my opinion. When the question was "What's your favorite movie?" and I listed a bunch of movies, someone disagreed. Maybe they mean that the movies suck, but in terms of the question, it means those aren't my favorite movies. I think some people don't pay enough attention to the question itself, only the answer.

I wouldn't mind hearing why the person is disagreeing with me in that case when it's just my opinion. I operate under the assumption that my opinion applies to me alone, so anyone else can take it with a grain of salt. But if I say something that applies to others, I think people are entitled to disagree with me.

The only time that I mark someone down without saying why is if other people have commented on the post saying exactly what I would have said. Otherwise I think it's rude. I've always been taught that if you're going to criticize, you should make it constructive criticism. If you don't, how is that person ever going to improve? And if you can't say objectively why their response needs work, then you shouldn't be rating it down, because it's probably just something you disagree with, not an answer that is bad.

I agree. Some people on here will disagree with something that they really shouldn't. For instance, I said what the difference between a crush and someone you like it TO ME, and someone marked it down for that. You can't disagree with something that I say is to me, unless you're implying that that's not what I think. I think people need to give explanations.

You do realize that this is also a game. Sure we are all on here for some purpose to either find out new information from anonymous people who have been there, done that or we are simply bored out of our minds and we are obsessed with wanting to be number one at everything so what do we do. Well, finding out new things about the male and female bond is interesting but playing a game is equally fun. When I first joined I got the worst of comments and later decided to post my answers anonymously. A little later I found out that if you post a great answer than odds are you receive more points and get best answer. A little more later I figured that any answer is worth 3 points and that all comments are worth 1 point each. I also found out that it doesn't matter if someone give you a green up arrow or a red down arrow because those are also worth 1 point each. Then I recently found out that the stupid moderators can't tell the difference between a well written article and a copied and pasted one from another website. So odds are your article will be featured if you simply copy and paste a well written article from another website and gain 14 points by doing so. I also found out that if the moderators deletes your answer, you can easily repost it gaining your points back.

So to sum all this up, 3 more points for me. Any comments are welcomed and it doesn't matter if you give me a green arrow or a red one, I still advance.
