Why some GLO members don't answer questions

[Sen's Revenge]

I'm a blogger for a website (tumblr platform) which specializes in membership intake questions. The majority of our responses to the anonymous questions are "It depends on the chapter."

A lot of the questions are interesting though, beyond the basic "What are my chances." A good deal of LGBT aspirants have had inquiries. Other folks have concerns about unsupportive family members.

And we're still snarky in our responses if the questions show a lack of thought/research.

True, not all aspirant questions are the standard/basic questions. I love that aspirants have a place to go for questions such as LGBTQ and family support for which it is difficult to find real life and non-Internet resources. Those also tend to be the types of questions that BGLO members are more willing to answer on message boards (and often the responses aren't bigoted).

As I used to have in my signature, not every question deserves an answer. The sooner people realize that, the faster they mature.

Which is not to say that there haven't been valid questions asked out of innocence. It is just that, it may not deserve a response. The person who asks a question should keep that in mind.
