Do you purposely ask questions in order to receive rude and nasty answers?

Does it give you some glee knowing you may have upset or inadvertently offended someone?

And do you look forward to their rude emails as well?

    I sometimes ask questions that evoke emotions, for sure. And yes, I've sometimes purposely hit sensitive subjects which I know will bring rub salt into a wound. My motive? I find heated debate interesting. I mean no offense (usually). I will say this: conversations around family holiday dinners are very similar. This is how my family is. It can get hot and loud and we can get genuinely ticked off but in the end we just end it with "you're entitled to your opinion, however wrong it may be."

    As for the Y!A answers.....I'm always glad to get any and all answers even if I don't agree with them. And sometimes I'll even give BA to someone I do not agree with simply because they made a valid point and made me think. (Thinking is good, after all). Sometimes I give BA to the person who amuses me the most, even if their answer isn't really the best answer, technically.

    Email......it's shut off. I've considered changing that but haven't so far. (Which leads me to my next question.........)

    Not everyone has a healthy social life, or the means to gain the necessary mental stimulation to be well balanced. Conflict is a normal part of human nature.I think most people would find life without any conflict to be dull and depressing. So many of us claim hatred of drama, but be honest with yourself. I know If i hate something, i will avoid it any way possible. But It's something we all desire and find, just in different ways. Describing people that want bad emails as a negative would be an example. We can all relate to feeling lonely, so when i imagine feeling that way for years. I would probably use any tools available (such as a computer) to seek out all the dynamics of human interaction.

    It seems like a lot of people do, I don't know why ? They must be immature teenagers or something. I want to know why people report my answers just because they have a different opinion then I do.

    I hate it when people do... I hate it even more when you ask a serious question and some bigot comes and tries to be a jack****! Those people should be kicked off seriously!
