@berocky: No, we didn’t misunderstand the question. We chose not to answer it in the style which you approved of and we did so because none of us approved of the question. We, as a collective, felt that there was no appropriate use for the “true answers” regardless of what you said you needed them for. You should use this experience in your learning because it has become, on it’s own, an awkward social situation for you.
Instead of getting a few answers, on the whole something you said was deemed inappropriate by a number of people in the online society. You tried to justify it, but at least a few people felt it was still inappropriate, thus creating a specific social situation that I, at least, would find awkward because your user name is forever associated with this question. You are forever associated with this question, your defense of this question, and the way that people did not accept that defense. Instead of letting it go, you lashed out angrily—something many people do when they find themselves in just the kind of situation you are researching.
So in the end, while we may not have answered your question, the experience of having posted this question, the ensuing discussion, and the result of it all show you what happens in the process of an awkward situation. Or in simpler terms, the “rumor” was started “berocky1 posted an inappropriate question” by the posting showing up on the first page of Fluther. The reactions, ours and yours, show how this group would deal with rumors, and how you, yourself deal with a social situation that has gotten out of control.
Though not what you hoped for, it may be exactly what you needed. I would say that instead of having failed you as a collective, we’ve become theater to teach you. But that would be my take on things.
