I see it happening more and more and it kinda concerns me. Anytime someone makes a post, even if its the QR, that is even the slightest bit offensive or controversial, the poster has some type of disclaimer in the post. Either saying they are simply throwing in a new question, does not favor this or that, is just looking at the other side of the argument, whatever the case may be.

One reason I feel people include these disclaimers cause they are afraid of being slapped with negative rep, which anyone can do is actually very easily done but has a huge effect on the persons, well, rep.

The other reason I feel people have to include such disclaimers is one thing I have noticed on the board is people love to hop on the "hatewagon". It just seems people are eager to jump down someones throat when they say something they dont like, or simply don't agree with, and the response is negative rep and post that stir up even more arguments.

This post isn't to stir up trouble, just a simple observation from someone who spends alot of time here. Such examples of disclaimers are as follows:

Does it strike anyone else that there may be a problem if people have to feel the need to protect themselves from the feed back of others?

EDIT: And I just noticed I put this in the sub category of Site Info and not the Site Feedback & Suggestions forum, would a mod be so kind as to move it to the proper forum please.
