If the asker of the question says you have a good answer but doesn't give you lurve, is it within your right to meet offline and kick their ass?

Asked by jlelandg (3536points) November 15th, 2010

I’m joking! But really, what do you think? I know lurve is for a “Great Answer” but if you get acknowledged for your answer surely that’s worth something isn’t it?

Honestly, I forget to give lurve a lot. I get so caught up in replying that I don’t realize that I haven’t clicked GA. Replying and giving lurve are sorta this right-brain/left-brain, active/passive, opposites thing where my brain can’t do both in the same gear. So it doesn’t mean that I don’t lurve you, just that I forgot to click it.

Besides, lurve doesn’t really matter. What matters is that you lurve yourself.

There are many askers who do not give lurve at all. I would not take it personally. You don’t have a right to lurve.

It’s par for the course. Peculiar, but par for the course.

I think that thinking about lurve isn’t a natural thing to do. People are more involved in the content of the comment and responding to that. Lurve is a secondary thing and a lot of people don’t throw it around. I see this happening most often from people with little lurve, so perhaps they haven’t caught on yet.

99% of the time if the asker acknowledges that you helped you will get a ton from people that just pass by. I always do.

And most new people don’t see the Great Answer link. But they click on the Thank You one. I get lots of PMs from people thanking me for my answer but they don’t give lurve.
