Do you assume a "great answer/great question" given, implies agreement?

Asked by Captain_Fantasy (11447points) February 25th, 2010

Maybe I think think your answer/question is great while I disagree with it.

I give anyone who wrote a well thought out, well written question/answer a GQ/GA. Especially if I agree with them.

Not in the least. For instance, I give GAs to people who do a terrific job of disputing my points. I also GA people who say something well even if I don’t like it and who make a clever joke even if it’s at the expense of the position I favor.

I have given GA’s to people in the past when I didn’t necessarily agree with their statement. Although I am more inclined to give lurve to those I do agree with.

It depends. If someone has said something horribly offensive and gets some GAs for it, I tend to think it indicates that some people must agree with it (because I can’t see any other reason to give an answer like that any lurve)*. However, if it’s a joke or just a well reasoned response, I don’t assume the lurve means anything more than some type of appreciation… not necessarily agreement.

*Except for those accidental GAs given when trying to flag an answer. I know from bitter experience that it happens!

Also, I’ve given “accidental” lurve several times before and I know I’m not alone in this. It’s quite easy to do on an iPhone while just using your finger to scroll down a thread. That really sucks when it ends up being some real offensive post. But it definitely happens sometimes.
