Has Yahoo Answers devolved into a 21st Century example of Lord of the Flies?

At times your absolutely right about this assessment,but at times I have read so many well thought out ideas/answers & it puts a smile on my face. Again though sometimes the ignorance is maddening! for each well thought out answer I read I at times read 2/3 answers that speak volumes about the writers ignorance/hatred/racism/sexism & so many more words that I care not use but at the end of the day so many of us use this as a tool for entertainment to pass the time and try to find useful information that we can use directly from people who may know. Days ago I answered a question from a young man who wanted to learn ideas on how to play a particular football position better...since I was a FB coach I was happy to share my knowledge so again it's part of the great things we use yahoo answers for.

Great question!

its just a bit of trivia. and passes the odd 10mins.

That seems obvious.
