Do you take it personally when your AB question or answer gets rated as not helpful, especially when you legitimately felt like you were helping?

i probably would but then i realize there's really no point if i'm never going to find out who it is that DR'd me anyway so why waste my time
-
I sometimes wonder why, but I guess everyone has an opinion and we can't all agree :-)
-
Sometimes I do but I realize they don't know me. They just want to cut someone down, anyone.

I don't take it personally. It makes me curious as most of the time it's not on controversial questions. It seems to happen on things that are either-or and a personal opinion. lol! But I do have one answer that is systematically getting lower and lower every few days, and it has been for weeks now. Just one or two points here and there. It's about "What is the difference between feminism and misandrism, and why do so many people mistake the latter for the former?" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/295203 It's rather amusing that it keeps right on being downrated:-)

I do not take it personal at all even if there seems to be indications that someone in particular doesn't like how I speak my mind, or an insight that I had provided on a particular issue had conflicted with what he/she might believe in and that perhaps caused him/her to get ticked off. I really like AB and its people, and I'm having lots of fun, but I'm not going to loose any sleep about being downgraded. I have things far more important in my personal life to worry about. Peace!

Sometimes....but mostly I'm curious.... Lots of questions are misunderstood or unclear in the first place anyway.

I try not to because written communication is many times misunderstood. Additionally, we really don't have control over other people's responses, so worrying about them only affects you.

Nope, never. Points are fun, but that is just what they are , points. Not as if I can cash the points in for money. ;)
