Is it true that on R&S, there are no right or wrong answers, only "best" answers?

Well, I think that sucks. We need a "Wost Answer" option.

For example:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201206...

I had to give this moron 1 star to chew him out, but it says "Best Answer - Chosen by Asker". That's so irritating. It wasn't the best answer at all. It was the exact opposite of the best answer. It cheapens the whole experience.

Who do I write an angry letter to?

Update:

@Mystery Owl - That was my first thought, but he has email disabled. I really wanted to give BA to Gdog :(

Go give him some TUs, will you? He deserves them.

Update 2:

@✡ Danit ✡ - *sigh* that is so sad but so true. Well said.

Update 3:

@Paki - You mean the "ignore our customers" board. Fixed :p

I guess I'll just have to troll R&S mercilessly as a substitute.

Update 4:

@Christian Housewife - Send me an email when your husband leaves the house... I'll come over and work on your "plumbing"... *cough*

Update 5:

@O - DAMN IT! Why didn't I think of that? That's what I get for asking questions when I've been smoking weed :( Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

Update 6:

@O - Are you serious? Do you completely lack reading comprehension skills? Are you as dumb as Corey? I NEVER said homosexuality was a choice. It was a hypothetical scenario to demonstrate that even if it WERE a choice that it would STILL be wrong to discriminate against them.

Did you fall out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down?

Well, you ALMOST got Best Answer before your retarded edit, but thanks to your excellent advice I will NOT be wasting a BA to inform you of how idiotic you are. I thank you for that.

    Just chew them out in "Additional Details" then give someone ells BA.

    Oh and P.S. I read your other question and you are an ignorant, homophobic, bigot. Being gay is not a choice we have found groups of genes in the human genome that determine someones sexual orientation. So I actually agree with the person you gave BA to.

    @ADD.. Lol I'm glad to see you took my advice.

    Oh crap my apologies that's what I get for skimming when I'm at work. Lesson learned.

    In many cases the asker will have an idea of what they want for an answer and chooses accordingly. That would be the answer the asker agrees with.

    In some cases an answer is chosen so that the asker can rant a little in their comment (happened to me). Then it's basically the answer the asker liked least in absence of any good answer.

    I don't believe a best answer is chosen in this category.

    The only answers that are chosen are the ones that the asker has an affinity for in accordance with his or her world view.

    It is just as you stated "Best Answer - Chosen by Asker" which means that the asker chose the answer he liked the best and isnt necessarily the one that you or I would have chosen as our best.

    Its like that with a lot of things, even religion. Many times people will choose one that they like best, that suits them and their needs and reject the one that requires effort or changes to their lifestyle.

    For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled (2Timothy 4:3,4)

    There are those who want to know the truth and will search for it and their are those who just want their ears tickled.

    (John 17:3) This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

    (Psalm 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.

    If we do get a worst answer option then the person whose answer gets chosen as the worst answer should have some points deducted.

    I think the only thing you can do is suggest it on the suggestion board:

    http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answers

    EDIT: ha ha. Yeah. It's true that they never listen...... But you didn't say that it had to work. lol.

    i don't think his all that wrong but if you really want to u can report it for reasons i don't know because it was offensive but i agree homosexuality is not wrong rather or not its a choice its not wrong because it doesn't hurt anyone and if anyone wants to get nasty in say anal sex is harmful then that means your doing it wrong cuz a dick shouldn't be much bigger then poo so ya and if your bi then wtf ever man i don't think generally the gays care to much about people being bi other then calling themselves gay and then "finding Christ" and say all you gays can and should do that same. cuz ya if i were gay that piss me off to im not gay that pisses me off lol

    Why not give the best answer to someone who deserves it and send him some mail instead?
