it has never happened to me but if it does, yes, it will bother me because i answer to the best of my knowledge.
i will be extremely annoyed if i will be targeted for giving a subjective answer to a subjective Q (like what my favorite book is) because i am entitled to the freedom of choosing my favorites, just like everybody else.
as much as possible, i don't answer in a way that would pertain to another answerer on the same q because i also give others the freedom to express themselves but if the answer is rude, i gently and politely chastise the person.
i frown on extremely stupid, rude and racist answers. i hate bigotry. only in such instances will i point the answerer out. if it's wrong, then i just ignore the answer. but because in a way, i feel that we have a responsibility here to give correct answers, i post my own answer. i did my part and now it is up to the asker if s/he will take my answer at value.
everybody makes mistakes. no one is above this human limitation.
Edit:
...if it's wrong, then i just ignore the answer... ==> by this, i mean answers to objective questions (i.e. someone asked about the capital of the philippines and an answerer replied quezon city or makati which is obviously wrong.
i'll then reply with the correct answer of course which is the responsible thing to do but i do it to help the asker, not to humiliate or point out the wrong in the previous answerers' replies. |

No, it doesn't bother me one bit. My answer is my opinion or view to a question. Other answerers may disagree but I am entitled to my answer so, who cares?!? |

Sometimes. In other sections, I got a couple of emails saying that I misunderstood the question or had a totally wrong answer. If I am wrong, I will apologize and correct it. I have to be careful next time.
Cheers. |

No, it doesn't. Einstein's theory of relativity applies to opinions as well. |

Nope. Not at all. It's their opinion. Here at YAP, I noticed that most of us (if not everyone) respect each other's answer, right or wrong, it's still an answer. Siguro pinoy kasi tayo? =) |

Nope. Means someone is sober enough to refute me.
What would bother me is when no one stands up to say am crazy, which means everyone else is as drunk, as I am. |

If it sounds like direct insult and underestimation,then yes,not will just bother but even will hurt me.
First of all, I answer not to be judged or whatever,I answered because I'm concerned/interested/curious or I knew the answer about the question and I careless about the people who is like me..just answering.If they will agree to my views/opinion/answer,TUs is very much appreciated, if they don't then they can give me TDs,but I am entitled of respect just like anyone of us here. |

sometimes, but yeah, I stand corrections... especially, when I know I really did put the wrong answers...
but when I know I gave the right answers -- that's annoying! |

It really will not bother me if someone points out that my answer is wrong in this forum. Who set the standards on what is right and what is wrong anyway?
Note though that in here, there are mainly two categories of questions being posted:
1. questions asking for opinions
2. questions asking for directions/lowest prices/instructions
On the first category, how can someone be wrong in giving an opinion. An opinion, per se, is never wrong. Just because someone disagrees with your opinion does not mean that he is right and you are wrong and vice-versa.
On the second category, one may not agree on the directions because he/she might take a different route. So what's the big deal?
if he/she gives out the "lowest" prices and someone finds out that there is a "lower" price somewhere else, then who cares? There are always discounts being offered by a lot of businesses all the time. You just have to be at the right place at the right time.
The same goes for giving out instructions on how to go about doing certain things. Everyone does things differently. To each his/her own. |

if it is indeed wrong then it stands to be corrected unless it is a personal opinion which should be respected. but if the question is a matter of fact and the answerer has inaccuracies, then just reply with the correct facts no need to say someone is wrong. I would agree with you to not personalize YA stuff. if we can help with the answers then let's help. |

You can only do that if you are sure that the other answerer is mistaken. You could learn from your mistakes, you know. |

Depending on how "your answer is wrong" is given. When expressed in a way that is intended to improve the wrong answerer, then that would be appreciated. But when done in a manner that is rude, it could bother me for a while, because it is just alien to my system.
If I know the answer to be correct and then somebody says it is wrong, then it doesn't at all affect me. |

if i know i gave the correct answer, then yes it bothers me.. it also bothers me when i give a fairly decent answer and i get thumbs down. |

It hasn't happened yet to me. But should it happen, I promise I won't let it bother me. I know I am not perfect and prone to mistakes - although I do try my best and give it my all everytime I answer. |

It hasn't happened to me either. I get thumbs down though,
Agree!! sweetiboi. It is not good form to point out someone else's mistake. How conceited can s/he get! It's all up to the asker to decide who s/he thinks is right. No outside forces. |

No, it does not bother me at all. He can say what he likes but I don't have to listen to him. |

it does especially when I can say my answer out loud, with full conviction!
once, I think I offended someone by mentioning his username and telling something against his own belief...and then he answered back, obviously offended... I felt down... weird... a bit repenting, yet disappointed that the person wasn't open-minded. and then, it happened to me that I was the first to be offended... I ended the day angry just because someone was pointing out something against my argument & because I felt he was also being narrow-minded just as the guy in the other situation... I guess it's a normal feeling to be very bothered when you are so sure of yourself and yet someone is still challenging you or your conviction. |

I seem to be getting a lot of thumbs-down lately even on "non-controversial" answers. It used to annoy the hell out of me but c'est la vie! Everyone's entitled to their own opinions... even if they're wrong. :-) |

I agree, It's really annoying and frustrating if someone would have to do that..... It's okey to make a comment but not straight to the "poinT" or too frank....as if they wanna create 'trouble'.... |

it depends. when you're in an open forum, a higher rank ask a question regarding the performance of the newly purchased equipments then one technician said no problem instead of telling the truth that there are lots of problem. right after he said that, tell every body that the answer was wrong. otherwise its unethical. |
