Oddly enough, some of the most 'offensive' people on EP are the ones who have deleted my answers....

I dunno why, I'm usually just trying to be helpful.... I really did think sticking a fork in an electrical outlet would help that one guy understand women better.....

NeonBlueMidnight	Posted Oct 11th, 2009 at 6:16PM I'd delete an answer if I considered it hateful, that's about the only decent reason I can think of. Rated: +2Vote for this!
sarah1079	Posted Oct 14th, 2009 at 6:41PM I've deleted answers to questions I've posted, if they're not intended as a genuine answer to the question then why shouldn't you delete them... Main reason being obvious trolling, people making stupid pointless argumentative statements hoping that they will get a reaction out of people... Rather than feed the trolls it's far better to simply delete their post.. Rated: +1Vote for this!
shf84	Posted Oct 12th, 2009 at 3:05AM Not sure what others do but if any one leaves a smart mouth comment on any of my questions or stories the get deleted and probably blocked to. I encourage anyone to do the same. It is very offensive to be reading the answers to a question and see where some smart mouth piece of **** has left a rude answer. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Egoberd	Posted Oct 11th, 2009 at 5:35PM It sucks and I agree that it's rude, but they have the option. Therefore, it doesn't matter how irritating it is. Anyone that deletes my answer, and I become aware of it, never gets an answer from me again. I'm not going to waste the time. Rated: +1Vote for this!

butterflying	Posted Oct 11th, 2009 at 5:34PM I never do that, and I don't know why. Makes no sense. If I ask a question I'm not looking for a particular answer, so every answer should be recieved =] Rated: +1Vote for this!

Toby2day	Posted Oct 11th, 2009 at 5:38PM Sometimes the answer may be a challenge to them. Other times it may just be plain old offensive. (at times like those it's a coin toss on deleting). Rated: +1Vote for this!

ZombieKitty	Posted Oct 11th, 2009 at 5:42PM I don't know. Why ask the question if you aren't going to be open to all the answers? Kind of loses the point of asking a question in the first place. Rated: +1Vote for this!
ReeceH	Posted Oct 11th, 2009 at 5:45PM Ppl expect certain answers, and if someone says something that they don't like they can't take it. I think its sad really :) Rated: +1Vote for this!
aileengein	Posted Oct 11th, 2009 at 6:19PM I agree that its petty to do that...Although I will say that one day I got the DUMBEST answer to a question imaginable...I should have left it just so the person would be humiliated, but I deleted it because it was so dmn dumb!! lol Rated: +1Vote for this!
