Predicting Answers

[cassa333]

Having a bit of a punt this morning with Answerbank.

From the OP headlines I am predicting the answers of my fellow posters on. Not word for word so much as the rhetoric they give, in response. Which side they come down on by either agreeing or disagreeing with the post etc

Actually sometimes you do sort of know what words they will use because they are stock answers but we do get a surprise sometimes.

For instance I can predict with some confidence who advocates free stuff paid by everyone else and who advocates providing for yourself with help when needed by the state.

From opinions on Trump, gender equality, welfare and politics.

This isn't a dig at anyone or any anyone's opinions. It is that some things are so noticeable that, although I still do, I am cutting back on posting because we each say the same thing over and over again.

I'll shurrup then :-))))

There are some threads that I refuse to click on, well, my brain says 'don't' but the hand goes and clicks anyway

Cassa....I try to maintain a consistency about such matters.

For instance, I have always voted Labour, since the very first time I was able to cast my vote. Some people switch their vote from Election to Election.

As regards to Trump, I have always regarded him a loud-mouthed, bigoted ignoramus and I see no reason to change that opinion now.

I am sure you get the picture !

I kind of do the same cassa. If its not a practical type question, I will often decide whether to go look or not based on who posted the question or who I see has answered.

I know alda, they are irresistible.

No, no step away from the keyboard and no one gets hurt lol.

Well! Alba shurruping was not what I'd have predicted!..... ;-)

But I do know what you mean, Cassa...and you're not alone in cutting back.....which makes what you're saying in your OP much more noticeable......x

I like to play 'Newspaper Bingo'. I read through the headlines and decide which AB is likely to post about a particular topic......I'm rarely disappointed.

I like the postings-on-the-wrong-threads. A long debate on historical slavery and then someone says "I prefer pineapple in that..."

[cassa333]

I know you do Mikey, that's how I can predict your answers so easily lol

To be fare you probably can mine.

Sometimes it's not worth bothering to answer some posts. Same old same old.

It's a fun game though.

half past two !

[mccfluff]

i look at the question titles and guess who posted them, usually get them right.

[cassa333]

Newspaper bingo. I like that as well JtH

I like to be noticed gness. Sometimes I like it ;-)

[mikey4444]

Cassa....I enjoy the cut and thrust of debate !

[Zacs-Master]

There's a certain person on here who goes on, sometimes at length, on matters of the EU, but their answers demonstrate their frail grasp of the situation. And sometimes a frail grasp of our language.

Much the same... only I also include which ABers will have an Arsène Wenger period and totally ignore a thread.

A much harder game is predicting threads that will get removed

The trouble with the world is the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
