Why do people on here get so rude and irate when answering questions. You make a simple comment and they jump down your throat and tell you are ignorant \nLike my mother always said..."if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all"\nHad to ask this question again, to point out, take a look at the comment from Prinze,from my previous question, another rude person answering, and you can't contact them.

Because people like her hide behind the anonymity of the internet. They insult others on screen to make themselves feel good, while having it in print so others think they're witty.\nI have my contact info up so others can reach me about comments I have made, and sometimes they do. Either to ask me about a comment I've made, or to clarify points of view about a question.

Well...I am one of those people that can and will criticize a person or the question they ask. Also too, I can answer a question intelligently as well. I use to think that there was no dumb questions, except for the one not asked, but after seeing some of the questions on here I do have to take that back. I have seen a lot of very good questions on here though with very good answers...but on the same token I have seen bad questions that someone shouldn't answer it with a good answer. Then there are the plain down out right jerks that would criticize anything that comes along. You can look at my profile to see what answers I gave to some of the questions...and maybe you'll laugh at them too...one of the questions a person asked was about joining the kkk or a Nazi group...you'll have to read the answer for yourself. I know that there are cruel people out there...and you have to decide what is good and what is not...take what will be helpful and let the rest go ;).

Probably the woman you complained about filed a violation on you. There is a lot of pettiness on this site. I can't make sense of the community guidelines. It doesn't seem to matter if the question or answer violates guidelines or not. There seems to be a knee jerk response to anyone filing a violation. It can be for anything. Six months ago a question or answer had to be blatantly offensive. Not so anymore. People just seem to look for reasons to file abuse. It is why many people have left the site. Yahoo has gone too far to one side. I feel your frustration.

Only answer questions you have something to say about, even if its just a funny remark. Alot of people my try to answer all the questions, but I don't think they know what their talking about half the time, and it makes them look stupid.

I like Yahoo Answers and you made me smile with your comments.\n\nPeople can get trapped in answering a question. They can wander...get off Topic...all of that.\n\nThis question is all about you:)  You want your questions answered fully...and I agree with that.\n\nHowever, many times the answer to the question is all about you or me.\n\nSmiles again. I hope that I was focused in my answer to you.\n\nChow. :)

Me too - I get really sick of people criticizing your questions and the way you ask them and then going: "2 POINTS!" I know that my question may be opinion based, but you don't have to answer in really rude tones, before ending it off with: "Thanks for the 2 points!", it's not just annoying but it's a waste of time for both me and you. So why don't save us the stupidity, and don't answer if you haven't got an opinion or a thought. This is not all about making the points...

How can you tell if they haven't posted an answer? I find thumbs down to my posts irritating, but I guess that's the point of this place to get a mix of opinions and see who agrees with what... I'm certain, however that there are some little kids out there who go around sabotaging posts - not to mention posting insulting questions... \n\nI suppose that's the flip side of an online service - you never know who you're dealing with. But for sure, don't take it personally, it happens to everyone (and in some cases I'm sure you feel like putting a thumbs down to an answer - see any of the bashing Qs) ;)

Amen Christy! You've got a fire about you in this post, you sure you're not meant to be a preacher? Joking.\nI agree 100%. Forums like this always seem to bring out the bottom feeders. Then we end up with people screaming in frustration, "all you Christians are a bunch of jerks!" or "all you atheists are stupid!"\nThe BIG problem on this site is when a troll comes on here posting something controversial, people reward them by arguing back. Then you ask a serious question, and you get 5 or 6 answers. \nIf we really want the fighting to stop, both sides need to speak up and condemn those who are rude. Nonbelievers need to start speaking against rude atheists who call Christians names. Christians need to start rebuking uneducated Christians who give bad answers.\nAnd please, for the love of God, if you don't have an answer for an honest question, simply don't reply to it. Enough with the snide remarks that don't give the asker any help.

I like this question because it reminds me that I *am* a nice person.  I remember answering questions a few months back that people said some really awful things to me, like that they hope I never had children, when in turn I WORK with children.  I volunteer at the Peds ward and NICU!  They would NEVER know my politics in fact, if it never came up, all these dems would higher me as the best baby sitter they ever had!!!  Then when I said that, they degraded me even further... \n\nIt's really sad that your political views shape up to be such a bad outcome of who you are.   This is the only forum I get heated in, and take a guess of *when* I get heated?  When a question is posed ALREADY demeaning Republicans, not looking for real answers, or name calling.  Then I get defensive, automatically, and I would do the same in real life.  If anyone were to come at me like they do on here, I would have no problem standing up for myself.  I certainly don't go looking for arguments and don't really discuss politics unless I'm ranting about Y! answers to my boyfriend (lol).  One of my best friends is liberal, and we can discuss things normally.   But then again, she doesn't call me names, and I don't attack her back since there is no reason for it.  YOU know?\n\nI use my real pictures of myself because I'm not afraid of who I am or what I have to say.  I am proud of my beliefs, I'm not always proud of my mouth, but the libs bring it out in me.  I should rephrase that to the libs ON HERE bring it out in me.  They are truly some really awful people, and we shouldn't judge the ones on here for some Dems in real life.  There are Republicans that start nasty things as well... but I consider myself not to be one of those and have asked some really good questions I think, but consistently get reported or thumbs down when really it has nothing to do with politics.  That just shows me what kind of people are here, you know?  not willing at all to see the other side.\n\nThis is my longest post ever, but it just reminds me that this is not my life.  Politics is not my life, I consider myself to be one of the friendliest, loveliest, sweetest people you'd probably ever meet.  Not trying to sound conceited or anything, but I really have a good head and a huge heart and if politics weren't involved, I'd love everyone :) haha.   When I was a child and a teenager, adults loved me, and now I think I have become a blessed soul because of what I stand for, and what I do in my every day life to help normal people like you and me.

I found this site for you. I hope it helps.\n\n:)\n\nI just had to edit this to say, people don't be so damn rude. She just asked a simple question. You don't know her or his situation, so don't be so ignorant by being rude.

Some people are just miserable and have to be rude about everything just because to them it is fun and give them pleasure.  Just ignore or report it.  But, that is what happens with the freedom of speech. But, even you have to admit that some of the questions that people ask. Are somewhat idiotic.  They asked the question and got around about way the same answer. But, then their are just plain normal questions that are getting answered stupid. But, everyone has the right to answer. Sorry, babe,  ignoring is going to be the best way out of it.

Wingnut, this question is clear, but I clicked your icon to see what other questions you asked. Well-worded questions that everyone understands what you are asking/saying will get a better answer.  \n\nAlso remember that this site is competitively driven by points.  The same 2 points is awarded for answering a question whether the answer is rude or a long, thoughtful and crafted statement.

I'm a Christian, and I agree with you. I think that if there is no judgement or condemnation in the answer, and if the answer is relevant to the question, there should be no problem. I have gotten rude comments from some of those who are non-religious, but only in the site. \n\nHowever, there is another side to the coin. The sad fact is that the only e-mails I have gotten that were rude and uncalled for were from other Christians, and I've also had other Christians behave rudely on the site. \n\nSeems that some people from all worldviews need to mind their manners now and then.
