Have you Ever been surprised about being chosen for best answer?

Question

Especially one where the questioner obviously had a very strong opinion and you were completely disagreeing with the questioners assertion and not candy coating or being being nice about it when displaying opposing facts.

Answer 1

Yes, sometimes the questioner seems to just give it to just anybody with a pretty face Avatar.

Answer 2

I vote for my own answers

Answer 3

yes I have been before I was like what I got best answer

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Yes. I told an Atheist off for posting an offensive question in the "Religion and Spirituality" section just to talk smack about Christians.

I was shocked when he chose me for "Best Answer"!

I guess he wasn't as close-minded as I thought he was . . .

Answer 6

Yes this has happened few times with me but I think the way in which I understood the perspective , mind set of the asker , probably he or she was impressed, like mostly I would get best answer for this question !

Answer 7

oh yes, and then they emailed me asking me out on a date....wth??

Answer 8

I have been pleased with being chosen as best answer, BUT that was not my primary motivation for answering the question in the first place.
