best response.....and bad feeling  

I pick the best response sometimes. If the response is exactly right or what I wanna hear then there's a big chance that I'll make it the best response.

If response really touch you or give proper explaination to your question or give proper discuss your topic. then I will choose best response.
I dont think so other user will feel bad if their response is not get selected for best response.
Also mylot gave this option to close the discussion.

i have the same view point as that of you.But in case a response touches our heart we must mark it as the best response.

I think it's a eureka moment when you pick a 'best response'. I am relitivly new so the first conversation i had i picked one, but now i don't usually.

I think it's an hour to bestow and when we have very little control over what's going to be posted it's nice to know that the really good ones have a reward of kind.

I don't think we are judging the person, just their ability to answer the question. I'd never judge anyone from something as remote as a question response on an internet board - ok i may judge them a jerk! but not much more!
