I don’t know what your talking about. The only ones I don’t read are ones that are uninteristing to me.

Wait, are you asking why people tend to get off topic?

delirium's avatar

What’d this say, I didn’t read it…

Robby's avatar

LMAO!! Wait I apologize for my sarcasm.There are those that do just that, but I believe most take the time.

Bigtechdude's avatar

Hey what was the question? ;-)

Robby's avatar

Wait a minute people!! Does this mean we do not read the question fully?

iceblu's avatar

@syntak Well obviously by all these responces, and your question, yes people actually do take time to read the questions….

My question for you is, why do you think people on fluther don’t read the questions?

bulbatron9's avatar

bulbatron9's avatar

Ice is back!

Failing up is my best quality!

El_Cadejo's avatar

Heh link works and its still fail. Lawls.

syntak's avatar

responding to all: ive noticed people either tend not to read the question fully and then attempt answering it. or they read the question fully then choose to ignore everyone elses answer, think they have a much better answer to the question, then end up saying something someone has already said ten times over. i just asked this question to motivate people to read the responses and not to just type in a half baked answer to questions just to get points or some other gratification.

bulbatron9's avatar

I really enjoyed this question! What was it?

@syntak, I know what you mean. We were just having fun! Thanks for the awesome question! Did you read all of the responses?

andrew's avatar

[mod says]: @uberbatman, @bulbatron9, @robby, @eambos, @iceblu, @peedub: <scold>Isn’t there a chat room for chatter and thread jacking?</scold>
[edit] link works now. Oops. Naughty flutherers! Bad! Bad!

Robby's avatar

Yes. Sry.Just venting and enjoying.

eambos's avatar

Link to chatroom doesnt work and I don’t know the URL=(

peedub's avatar

my apologies

andrew's avatar

Refresh.

TheHaight's avatar

yeah, I know what you mean syntak…. Like when you answer something and then the next person says the same thing but words it differently. Does it bother you? Just let them know they just repeated themselves or something. I always try to say “I agree with so and so” then say what I think.

Robby's avatar

Brown Noser!!

TheHaight's avatar

are you talking to me????

Robby's avatar

LOL…Sry..But yes

TheHaight's avatar

LOL lmao okdjebvrhatdhhb your hilarious

andrew's avatar

@robby: Chat. Room. Now I have to clean up the whole discussion.

Robby's avatar

I’m sry but you said what you said. There was no need for another opinion. But thats my opinion. thats the end on my part>

TheHaight's avatar

that’s makes absolutely no sense.

Robby's avatar

What i Should of said was you said what you said as an opinion and I respect that as such. Also I get the hint.

hairypalm's avatar

dang it! I see what i missed out on while i was driving. LOL Dumb laws.

TheHaight's avatar

ugh, your opinion that I’m a brown noser? Haha I haven’t heard that word in forever.

Robby's avatar

Ok i’m in my own world at the moment how does that work? And I’m sry if I offended you? After this I’m done with this thread!

syntak's avatar

fluther is not a chat room. please dont make it one. gracias. check out myspace, aol, or yahoo. i heard they are great places to chat.

eambos's avatar

Look up a little, there is a chatroom…

iceblu's avatar

@syntak You never answered my question….

trainerboy's avatar

They will not negotiate but they might be willing to withdraw if we do a few things. Other than that, I don’t know the answer to this one. It’s a stumper! Great question!

bpeoples's avatar

Actually, it’s because the greeks thought the Mycenaeans had the Cyclops help them build the big stone monuments, not because the stones only have one eye.

scamp's avatar

@syntak Did you start this thread because you actually wanted an answer, or was it to complain? If you have complaints, you can use the contact link on the top of the page to let the moderators here know in private. It’s not in good taste to do so on the open board.

If your question is a serious one, people don’t always understand the questions if they aren’t worded in a way that only mind readers can answer. If the answers tend to get repetitive, and that’s annoying to you just be grateful that someone took the time to give their input and overlook it. The whole point of fluther is for the collective to discuss answers.

syntak's avatar

collective to discuss answers. talk to the people that use it as a chat room…

@iceblu: i think people dont read the questions of fluther simply because people just wanna have something to say. they arent worried about actually answering the question. they are just proud that they had something to say and want everyone else to read it.

it was a serious question.. i just wanted to see what others thought on the topic..

iceblu's avatar

@syntak awesome, i just wanted to know your intentions with the question, and i hope you know what the answer is now.
