Do you tend to award best responses to people who agree with you?

Certainly not. I would give it to the person who managed to deeply analyze the subject and gave it time and concern.This is the person who deserves whether or not he/she agrees with me.

being an open minded person, i am, respecting somebody else's opinion is at most, disagreeing with a person is another as long as the topic has some valid reasons for making a different opinion or idea. what i'm saying is, if that person really have some kind of proof that my opinion is wrong are not good and his/her is right then i believe it is reasonable for me to concur. if that has more weight than the other then that deserves a best response. the only thing that matters in making a best response is most of the time it is being affected by our emotions instead of seeing the topic based on what it is and not on what we feel. i am argumentative also if i believe and i have evidence and proof that i am right with the topic on hand. and we also have to consider the other side of the coin in making decision/s and not just what we think it should be. but hey, this is just me.

Hi there katran! I do not only award the best response to people who agree with me. I always make sure to go over the responses I get for each discussion I start. While doing so, I realize that not all members would agree with me. But I must admit that there are those who do not agree with me but their ideas or opinions are really good. So I also award best responses even to people who do not agree with me for as long as their responses are logical and sensible.

I think I tend to award those best responses to well crafted...first responses... and those that agree with me. It also helps to grovel. On the other hand, I like playing devil's advocate and that usually precludes me from getting any best response tags.
