Which V&V questions do you like to answer? The argumentative ones or the recipes?!


Question: Which V&V questions do you like to answer!? The argumentative ones or the recipes!?
Answers:
There are a lot of factors behind which questions I answer; firstly, I look at the source, I don't really answer trolls!.

Then I look at the question itself!. I like to answer questions that are original before I answer questions that have been asked thousands of times before (redundant ones include "can vegetarians eat fish!?" or "why is cheese sometimes not vegetarian!?")!.

Even if it's a question that requires arguing my point of view or defending the vegetarian position, I don't mind answering as long as it seems like the questioner really wants an answer rather than is a troll that wants to put their prejudice on parade (since they'll just pick their second ID or another troll as Best Answer and really don't care one way or another about reason or good answers)!.

Sometimes if a question has a LOT of good answers already I don't contribute because I don't think there's anything more I could add!. Unless there's something new or fresh I could add (like in this case) I stay away from questions with 15+ answers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As a Veggie Chef I love to share recipes and I love reading other people's recipe contributions also!. It is also rewarding to share in a philosophical discussion, after all I have a degree there, and a good argument is a total delight!. However, we seldom see those kinds of inquiries and discussions!. The argumentative immature slams are neither interesting nor are they worthy of our attention!. Telling someone that they are a "troll" doesn't seem particularly productive to me either!. Frankly, I think we ought to ignore them completely and let them atrophy and wither on the vine!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sometimes i'll glance over a recipe or two, especially if someone has taken the time to describe the way they cook something themselves, but generally i dont like recipes because most of them are cut and paste!. I really dont have much use for that, i could just as easily look through one of my cookbooks!.

I like argumentative better, and i dont mean the ones where a troll just posts something to try and get people mad, those are pointless, I like the ones where there are contemplative issues being discussed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

hooray for being unblocked!

i prefer the argumentative questions!. most of this has to do with the fact that i don't know many veggie recipes becuase i'm not a vegetarian!.

i assume that forums and Y!A are for discussing different points of view!. it's for answering questions that can't be answered by google or wikipedia!. it is important to get thoughts from 'the other side' to avoid paradigm paralysis!. wouldn't you guys agree that the best solution usually comes forth when a problem is looked at from ALL points of view!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like the argumentative ones, I have never been great at recipes!.!.!. However whenever I make argumentative questions they get blasted but Y!A doesn't give a damn when meat-eating trolls make retarded questions for no reason other than to pester us!.!.!.

Edit: *gives B-2 a vegan cookie* I am proud that you got the fact that you are a meat-eater out there without the use of derogatory terms and self-righteous condescension, thats the first time you have never ot been a troll on the V/V *applauds*Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like to respond to the ones that are 'argumentative!.'

YA is an excellent place to get exposed to many different perspectives and some intellectually stimulating discussions!. Hopefully it will remain so, unlike our institutions of higher learning which seem to be intolerant of opposing opinions!.

When I want a recipe, I just google the sort of thing I'd like a recipe for!. It's great!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like the recipe ones! :) I enjoy them because I like to help people out with their cooking! :)
Although it sometimes makes me hungry!

Not really keen on the argumentative ones, my keyboard doesn't like the hammering! :) x

I sometimes find a similar recipe on the web and cut and paste cos it takes me too flippin long to type the thing out!Www@FoodAQ@Com
