The value you place on "who" says it:

It doesn't matter to me who makes the post if I answer or not,if it's a post it's self.and if I like it I answer. not always serious

but I have noticed some on during the day go off on a two person answering,and now have figured they must be in love with one another and leave them alone,and I don't want to interfere

Yeah I've noticed that a bit before in myself.

its a natural human response,
we all have it, i try to get past that and judge something objectivly.

in other ways its good to know who said it, thats a valuable piece of information on which to judge. (though it should never be the only one)
if information from a person has been consistently false or misleading there's ample reason to be critical and look closer at what they say.

and there's nothing wrong with a certain amount of trust in members whos opinions we feel are valid and who have to shown themselves to have earned that trust.

What I look at more often than not is somebody's age. If it is a post that I totally disagree with or don't like what the person is saying, I check the age. If it is a young kid then I don't post.

Icymist: What?

I can't even believe you would base your decision "to", or "not-to" respond -- on age.

If i see a young person posting -- and the post has some relevance -- i do whatever i can to encourage that mind. Doesn't matter if i agree or not.

Why would you think that if it's a "young kid" -- they aren't worth the time of day? Young kids are what is going to do what it takes -- to save the world, in the future. You have to nurture those young minds.

I love your ability to answer this post honestly. It says a lot about you. Don't give up on the kids. they rock.
