Why don't you answer inappropriate questions?

Answer 1

Just as someone would not bother to answer an inappropriate question in real life (off the internet), the same reasoning applies when on the Internet. Some questions are simply inappropriate, either because it intrudes on someone else's privacy or someone else's rights. Other "inappropriate" questions are the same kinds that a grandmother, mother, teacher, pastor, or anyone in civilized society would think is impolite, rude, or gross. WikiAnswers has policies about questions, just as home, school, and churches have rules about what is--and is not--okay to ask.
