Why do people rate cynical and sarcastic answers/opinions? Do you think it is making this site less reputable and turning it into a circus for clowns?

Cynicism is a world-weary loss of faith in something or someone caused by experiences of failure or being jaded. It is often callous and is an involuntary survival mechanism. Good people can become cynical unintentionaly. It's sad, unfortunate, and can be corrected, but it's every person's right to be that way if they choose. It's also every person's right to voice their oppinion as to whether they agree with a cynic.

Because some users on AB are idiots and choose to feed the trolls.

No. It makes this site a mix of genuinely useful answers, humorous but still helpful answers, and humorous and non-helpful answers. The name applies perfectly, it's a bag of mixed answers.

I sometimes ask goofy questions, but I also ask my share of reasonable ones. I am certainly not going to feel guilty or immature for having a sense of humor. That's just stupid. Don't get me wrong, I do understand your concern. However, all questions whether silly or serious seem to get answered around here sooner or later. Good question. 4+

For me it's a force of habit. I try to UR if I plan to answer or comment or whatever.
