When the question is thought provoking
-
When the writer didn't know it was a duplicate and didn't get it reworded to be acceptable.
-
Nothing is a shame. Why would you say that? A shame? No, not at all.
-
When it is NOT a duplicate and some troll is being a smart ass.
-
When something like 50 of them are moved onto one of my old questions and I spend hours commenting on them and rating them and the people do not even acknowledge the fact. Getting the answers from a Duplicate does not do the earlier person any good. The people have already given their points to the Duplicate question. The earlier person just gets the work.
-
When the "merging" of the duplicate makes the comment threads a confusing mess of "why is a person other than the person who asked the question commenting to all the answers here?" It took me awhile to figure out that it wasn't a 'jacking of comment priviledges by some totally unrelated person :)
-
When the two questions aren't even close to being the same thing. That happened to me once.
-
When it has received a lot of responses. This whole hissy fit people have about duplicates puzzles me. You can ask "what did you have for lunch today"? everyday and everyday my answer would be different. Big deal. Don't get it! If you've answered it before don't answer it again and move on! Leave it alone and let others who have never seen the question before answer it. Easy peasy! :)
-
When I answer it.
-
When its mine. lol I have had quite a few come up as duplicates, it's not because I don't check to see, but if nothing comes up I am not going to spend an hour searching to make sure there is not another question like it. =^) +4

Most of the time. We have new people constantly.
