These people claim to be the "good guys", yet spit venom at those unlike them. \nIs it me, or these just horrible people for the most part?

I just asked this question in different words and got some great answers. I think people are afraid of what they don't know, and these people have lived sheltered lives so there is A LOT they don't know and aren't familiar with. I guess they think it's easier to try and rid the world of the things that scare them than to learn to live with them.

When I disagree with liberals on this board, it's usually not from them being soft in the mellon, in fact, many are very bright.\n\nCertainly this person couldn't have been serious, could they?\n\nIf they were.....\n\nit's sorta of like suddenly forgetting how to fill your lungs with oxygen......

They are just angry, and want to make other people feel bad with them, it is a game.  I personally love talking about God, and how I feel about Him, and how He has affected my life.  It is unfortunate that I have to sift though so much garbage on here to find sincerity, but it is on here.  God Bless You.

Yes indeed. The sad thing is, most of the people who are displaying here wouldn't admit to it if you were pulling their fingernails out by the roots (now there's a thought).  I don't get it myself, but yeah they are annoying.

It is a very cowardly and despicable act.... I put that in the description of the report I made on botltles when I got your e-mail thingy from Y!A answers asking me to do so... It seems like the dude has some issues with your views of the world and the best way he knows to get back at you is to slander your good name by posing as you.. That is sad, very sad.

Unfortunately not uncommon.  Those people can be charitably described as "jerks" and "freeloaders."  There are other names I've used, not for public consumption.

Randy - just maybe they can't cope (promptly) with the amount of abuse being reported to them, across all categories.\n\nThere've been a few questions from trolls, I've sought to answer today, that have been removed by the time I got to the Submit button.\n\nWe could all make a concerted effort simply not to answer such provocative questions (although I suspect that wouldn't be sustained)\n\nAlso, I think it's good etiquette (I've seen others do it) to post a response which says simply Reported - that way others will know not to do likewise.  Of course, in doing so you do lose the anonymity - But I reckon if we can talk about our sexual preferences on this forum, we can be honest enough to admit when we're defending them.   \n \nIn this way, perhaps Yahoo! Answers will find the reports of Abuse a little easier to handle.  \n\nAnyone else got any ideas on how we can help Y!Answers with this?

It is a shame that there are people like that here, but there is always one in a crowd, no matter where you are. \nI have found that the good ones out number the mean, rude ones though. Please don't let those few keep you from helping people find the answers they need. God be with you.

I think the generalization comes from this site.  We are all incognito behind our computer screens and that makes some people feel invincible.  I have been sent hate email and hate posts and even had a question posed about what an ugly liberal lesbian I am (I can take it in stride, though, I know who I am).  In the grander scheme of things, I don't think that Conservatives are hateful.  I simply disagree with their ideals.  On this site, however, if one disagrees, one must prepare for the onslaught of name calling and anger and hate.

One such veteran, a friend of mine, has been cloned, reported mercilessly, and been deluged with derogatory remarks.\n\nI presume from people who are still being supported by mommy and daddy.

Nope, it's not just you.\n\nFrom what I've seen, the ppl replying that way are the ones who are "holier than thou" and like to quote scriptures as a way to back up their self-righteous behavior.\n\nOpinions are great, until someone tries to trample all over someone else's!\n\nI imagine I'm like many, in that if someone tries to shove their opinion down my throat it usually makes me stand that much more firm in my own belief.  My opinion is my truth and not that of anyone else's.

Right now, it's jealousy.  Yes, some people do actually hate other people because they differ on opionions.

What I find ironic is that one of them wanted to know if they should have their own section and split off from us.\n\nThey keep saying they are not a religion, but this is where they hang out.  What gives?\n\nI'm all for them being here if they are curious.  I don't like that they make fun of others or make fun of God.\n\nHe's powerful enough to handle it, it just saddens me for His sake.

I think they take a special course in intimidation instead of a much needed one in community relations. They want to rule by fear instead of repect, but expect to be respected. And then are stupid enough to think we are impressed by them. Hmmmm.

You did right,\nthe reason these people treat others like a**holes is because they don't get a taste of their own medicine, they think others are too scared. good on you, it proves that.....REVENGE IS A DISH, BEST SERVED COLD!!
