Asking innocent questions

hi there, and welcome to mylot! Yes i have had that happen to me here once a long time ago, before i was overly carefull about what type of questions i asked. I thought if i asked a contrivercial question, then i would get a lot of responses, and therefor earn a lot of pennies! I did get a lot of answers, but they were not nice ones some of them, and my star rating went down down down for a long time! I asked a questions about down syndrom, and although the question itself was harmless, i used a term which i thought i was being scientific about, actually was kinda rude. OOPS.
