  • Probably because they like you and find you interesting. :)

    Those spending their time tracking others here have a tendency to live by double standards as I think we cannot claim, either of not having repeated ourselves when asking questions. That is if we put ourselves out there asking questions. Guess what Imtry saying here is pay little attention to them. It's not worth your time. :-)

    Keep your pearls close to you.  Never know who will trample them under their feet.

    You know SH I asked a zillion questions on Answerbag from February 2005 to December 15, 2015 when it shut down unexpectedly. I've asked a bazillion questions on Answermug since I've been here. Well maybe not a zillion or bazillion. I don't count my questions to be honest with you. My concerns have always been the same. I am the same person (well maybe not  EXACTLY) today as I was in 2005 so if I don't ask the same questions many times that would be troublesome. The same problems we had in 2005 are still with us.  Now as you know I ask questions that occur to me. I don't how HOW to ask questions that don't occur to me. So right there I'm limited. Within those limitations are many permutations/iterations of similar thoughts.  There are some questions I'm pretty sure I haven't asked repeatedly. "What is your favorite color"? "What did you have for lunch today"? What is your favorite season?  "What is your favorite holiday". Etcetera etcetera etcetera and so forth. Now could I have asked them more than once? Yep I could have. Anything is possible! I just find the subject tres amusing. I have never tracked anyone for any reason at any time because I'm too busy doing my own thing. I don't care how many questions people ask or how many times they ask the same question. I know it is a terrible thing to admit but I don't. I flat don't care! So shoot me!  Thank you for your nifty reply! :) ((Hugs))

    Ive had my shares of usual suspects who think they have to join my questions even if they don't really reply on them as asked. Well, that will be them. It really says more about them than anyone else. You just keep asking whatever questions you like, even those asking about behaviour of others. Enjoy your Sunday. :-)

  • Sorry, Rosie, I didn't mean that in the way it apparently came across.

    I sometimes track and sometimes make a point of replying to your questions, because I frequently think you ask some of the most interesting and controversial questions.

    It is in the nature of your questions that they tend to attract a wide variety of responses, and some of those will not be welcome to you. On one issue you and I disagreed - but I think we were both civil with each other and it did not stop me liking you as a person.

    I have witnessed some answers which are rude to the point of abusive, usually by people who make similar responses to others elsewhere.  It's part of their character and not a reflection on you - as I believe you know. They only expose themselves for what they are.

    I've witnessed some writing completely unjustified accusations.

    The only thing I can do is trust in your intelligence, toughness and resilience.

    But you do indeed have a following of people who like you and your questions.

    I don't track anyone...I simply answer questions I find interesting.

  • Not so much track, as can't avoid if we choose to use this site.

    Well as a Mod you do have to track them for propriety don't you m2c? Or do you just wait until someone complains about something and then you look at it? I had someone tell me I asked 18 political questions in one hour. I have someone else who is always reminding that I keep asking the same questions multiple times . So they apparently don't have enough to occupy them with their own creativity so they monitor me. My concerns are the same as they were years ago. The problems are the same. They are not being solved. So I ask questions I've asked before because the audience is different and maybe I will get some answers I can use. So shoot me!  Thank you for your reply! :)

    ((hugs)) Well that is certainly a loverly thing to tell me hartfire. Thank you my friend. Of course when I see who is answering the question I either smile or cringe. Some posts I ignore completely  and never read because..well...you've read some of the things certain folks say. What I do every morning is look at all my alerts and those from the hostile folks I just delete. That removes the clutter immediately. Then when I am responding to others if I happen to run across a hostile person I never read the post. I continue to ignore. Sometimes a person brand new to me will attack. Now I don't know that person from a hole in the wall but I appreciate the attack because I add that person to my list of hostile people and just delete delete delete. I feel very powerful when I do that. At Answerbag we didn't have that luxury. You didn't know who was responding. You just knew you had a response so you had to click on and begin to read it to see. Now some of the same hostile people were at Answerbag and they came over to Answermug and they are still hostile/insulting/disagreeable. They don't disagree with civility. They insult. So since they don't know any better I don't bother with them. Not my cuppa tea. You are definitely my cuppa tea!  Happy Sunday to thee! :)
