Do you think posting the same questions over?

and over on this site could be an indication of a B12 deficiency?

Update:

I post the same answers to the same questions...because they are true.

    It's possible, lets ask Mermaid.

    Considering the trend towards that inclination here - it just might be! Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

    I wonder if most people even know that a B12 deficiency is mostly due to a genetic mutation that is common in modern humans. Even 40-50% of omnivores are B12 deficient today. Fun factoid.

    It's not listed as a possible symptom by any reputable medical information or advice service.

    But if it were... I have to wonder what nutritional (or other) deficiency could be responsible for someone repeatedly posting the same misinformation in their answers? I'm thinking, for example, of repeat answers which continue to claim the results of small studies as absolute proof of their prejudices, sometimes even when those who carried out the studies insist those results are far from conclusive and other experts in the field dispute them?

    And what deficiency might lead to someone being so crass as to make such claims as 'All drivers/vegans/ meat-eaters/ commuters are thieves'? I'm paraphrasing, so here's an actual quote from just such a person: 'As we know, vegans lie'.

    Being a charitable old soul, I fancy it has more to do with the intuitive deficiencies of YA's new format. It's rather difficult for kids to get the hang or, and so many of these infinitely repeated questions appear to reflect a rather less than mature mind.

    There are a few reasons I can think of that would explain why one would repeatedly post the same questions:

    - Looking for more or different answers

    - Trying to get answers from different users

    - Inability to come up with new questions

    - Forgetting that you'd asked the question previously

    - Wanting to make the same points repeatedly

    - Wanting to annoy people

    I'm not qualified to answer that. They are probably just trying to make the same point over and over again. However I do find it interesting that your question is called bullying and other people can say whatever they want.

    This is kind of the pot calling the kettle black, you post the same answers over and over.

    Most of your answers look like they were copy pasted from a website. Maybe the website is accurate, maybe it's not, but the fact that you repeat certain phrases, such as

    "No plant makes Vitamin B12, none, nada, zilch"

    "You know all those crumbs at the bottom of the cereal bag, those are the vitamins. You'll either throw them away, or overdose on them, either way, you won't get a steady source of vitamins"

    "Why is it okay to cripple and maim a field mouse, but not a cow?"

    It shows a lack of independent thought, and it makes you look like a robot.

    We all know that there's pretty much ONE person on here who repeats her own questions. But the rest of the users simply ask a question that's been asked several times over simply out of LAZINESS. The question that comes to mind is "(Why do people think) do vegetarians eat fish"

    ------------------------------

    ADDENDUM: "I post the same answers to the same questions...because they are true."

    Okay, some of what you say may be fact. But you (and some other folks on here) also need to learn that generalizations (sometimes referred to as "factual observations") are not true.

    "We all know veg*ns lie"

    "Vegans are hypocrites"

    Allright, I need to go. That vitamin B12 deficiency won't develop itself.

    i have to agree with Dion J. here. some can be lack of good answers, or just trying to annoy users.

    No, but complaining about them and bullying vegans might be

    Please watch this. You may be deficient
