| Jul 28, 2013 at 10:49 | comment | added | Simon | I'm actually really surprised that my question has not got more negative points, and I really expected it to be removed. But while it receives comments, negative or positive, I'm happy for it to stay. | |
| Jul 28, 2013 at 10:47 | comment | added | user25656 | I think this meta question has nothing at all to do with Ubuntu or Ask Ubuntu. It would be a better fit in a site dedicated to social studies or human behavior. Something like is this shade of orange better than that shade of orange for some aspect of the web page would be subjective and possibly worth discussing here. But issues of personality? | |
| Jul 27, 2013 at 19:18 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | Meta-close-voters: On main, everything should be an answerable question. That is not the case on meta (look around). Please see the meta help if you are not 100% clear on this. Discussion is allowed here. Questions here don't always have to even ask anything, and there are many questions here explicitly asking for opinions. Closing a question as "primarily opinion based" is far less likely to be correct on meta than on main. It seems unlikely that this would have garnered 4 VTCs were it an equally subjective meta question most people agreed with. | |
| Jul 27, 2013 at 13:02 | comment | added | Simon | I did post it it's the only answer after leaving it for 2 days with no replies, I found out what the problem was then, as it wouldn't help anyone and as I had lost the 50 points I had offered, I offered the points to the best or closest answer. Do you believe that anyone would be interested in the fact that the cable I had bought was not of good enough quality? I think not. Any way, my next step is to ask a simple question and offer all of the 1000+ points I have on my account to the person with lowest number of points. | |

| Jul 27, 2013 at 2:07 | comment | added | user25656 | Take "obviously had a sense of humour by-pass" as an example. I would think that before the "by-pass" said individual had an impaired sense of humor, but after the "by-pass" said individual's humor is restored. | |
