How can we have honest answers?

... when an asker who disagrees with the answers reports them as "abuse" and YA censors and deletes the answers without first contacting the answerer for clarification.

    An honest answer, must be a complete answer, not just "Well why would you do that?" After reading some of your answers, I can see why people would report you for abuse.

    You can get honest answer but you can get non honest answers depending on category and who is participating at that time. Questions that are actual questions and are easy to understand get more honest and better answers.

    You have a question posted that is a statement not a question "You gotta be kidding..."...graduated Magna *** Laude..."?" and then you answered it with "Once again Yahoo shows how poor their IT department is. It's little wonder they are in trouble." so it isn't clear what information you are seeking since there isn't any question.

    Sorry not here to answer your question cuz I don't really care. But I saw your comments on gay and lesbian public affection. And you spammed comments on the answers of those who approved PDA with gay and lesbian's with saying the LBGT community would be more privileged Bryan straight couples. No one has really ever shamed straights the way they shame gay and lesbian love. Straights do it all the time. The freaking eat each others faces off. WHY CAN'T THE LGBT COMMUNITY HAVE THE SAME EQUALITY AS STRAIGHT PEOPLE?

    After seeing the answers above. It's clear that none has understood the question. So I'll just trudge ahead and take the censorship with the understanding that it's meaningless.

    You get reported because your answers are worded disrespectfully with a lot of hatred. People don't like that type of behaviour aimed at them. You can be tactful and respectful while giving your opinion of an honest answer. It doesn't take much effort, just a bit of thought.

    I agree with the other answerers, you are a total dick and never answer the questions, that's probably why you get reported.
