What's up with people accepting wrong answers?

Question

Okay, why is is that when I look around I have noticed several "resolved" questions that do not provide quality answers. Sometimes the answers are only partial, while other times they're completely wrong. I would give examples, but I'm tired. Do people choose their answer? I see a fault with Yahoo Answers in many areas because people answer questions and they don't know that they're talking about. Has anyone else seen this? I hope I'm being clear, otherwise I'll fix my statement when I'm more awake.

Answer 1

People don't come to answers to get answers.  They come here to get validation and choose the 'answer' that caters to them the most.

Answer 2

well, many times people will not accept the right answer, just the answer they want to hear.  i have seen it many times on here.

Answer 4

What do you not understand about this being an open forum?!!!

Surely you lack the tolerance and intellect to discuss and debate on a public forum - so feel free to leave!!

But why not stay, learn some tolerance, grow your intellect and in the process become a much better person!!!!
