As a reasonably articulate and educated individual I usually make my point and explain it.
Inevitably the next post takes the initial point , ignores the explanation and then asks , about the original statement, "why?"
It often reminds me of when my son was young and I would explain that it is dangerous to cross the road without looking because he could be run over.
"Why daddy?"
I would offer an additional explanation to him in _iew of his age. I don't bother with adults. 
Anyone else exasperated with the why question?
Please don't resort to the obvious reply. |

Nope, just hit the green "Stalker" arrow, and tried to see what you are referring to, found an articulate double  reply and another one liner agreeing with previous post. Then I got bored |

Inevitably?
No I'm not exasperated with it
But I don't mind clarifying an opinion because I recognise that I may not have expressed it clearly in the first place. |

TUC.
It's always good form to assume that the error in communication is your own fault and not the misunderstanding of others. |

Investigate a little further and you will see that I asked the op a why question previously. Silly me! I thought we were in the forum to discuss  |

Honestly, anyone who asks a question wanting to learn should be rewarded with the answer, ideally in a manner that they will understand.
However as soon as the person demonstrates that they are not listening or trying to understand, then I rapidly turn to why bother....

"I'd question who was the wound up addict myself.
The phrase passive aggressive springs to mind. "
Infers I have a persinality disorder and then wants to ask me a serious question.
I think I'll pass in that one. |

You're not that educated or articulate , you just think you are. I would suggest you take a leaf out of your sons book and start asking questions so you can educate yourself instead of presuming that you know it all. |

I couldn't get exasperated with a word but it's one of those questions that I find very important. I have to use the 'Why?' question in my work on a daily basis and the answers are what structures a particular result.
'Why' can often be a challenging question to answer but can often help drive our personal lives.

"Sighs......
This is a genuine and serious question.
Why do you join in on the forums?
Cos he can and he's allowed
That's why  "
I'm aware of that but he finds it so tedious and most of us so far beneath him that I wondered why he bothered. |

I ask myself why all the time.... I like to understand why I did something, why I let something get to me.
and I am genuinely interested in why people do certain things on here. |
