When scanning AB questions, do you read all of them, come up with a brilliant (you think) answer, then decide "I think I'll just leave that one alone?" If so, what would make you do that?

To be honest I look through and find ones I can give a witty answer to 'cos it makes me laugh and unwind after a hard days work . If other people find it funny it's a bonus , if people are offended I deeply apologise.

That often happens to me with political and religious questions (I tend to be a bit of a Libertarian with especially strong feelings in favor of the First Amentment). I'll spend a bit of time composing my answer, then decide that it'd just start a political fued or religious war and so just close the window on it and forget it...

There's lots of times where the question is asked simply to evoke a response. I usually refrain from answering those in order to avoid drama, even though I've already got something on the tip of my tongue to say;)

Sometimes I find one that strikes a chord, and I prepare an answer that satisfies my sudden emotions raised by the question, then either A) I get distracted at work and I come back 1/2 hour later and the emotions have died down and after re-reading the answer I notice that I answered too much out of emotion and not enough out of solid thought, so I cancel. OR B) the computer messes up when answering and I lose the answer and I don't want to go through the effort to compile the answer again. Sometimes if I feel the question will cause more drama than I am willing to deal with in the form of comments and a potential troll or two, then I won't even bother because I've been down that road before.

The ones that I have to leave alone are those that are asked in such a way to elicit some emotionality in the answer. Also, some of the more philosophical questions, when I start to form an answer, my head hurts from thinking so hard on exactly how I want to say something, and I will tend to leave those alone for a time. The ones I like to answer right off are the ones like this one that do not require me to stretch the brain muscle too much out of shape.
