I've been on a couple of chatrooms and I've also posted some of my guitar playing on the net. It seems all people can do is b***h and insult other people, I've also seen it here too, someone asks a sensible question and then gets a stupid and highly insulting answer, usually by someone who can't spell and has terrible grammar.  Has anyone any thoughts on why some people sit around at their PCs all day looking for people to insult? Also I think forums and chatrooms should maybe do an IQ test to stop utter morons entering.

Wow...where do I begin?  Your are absolutely right. A lot of people that respond to this stuff are total idiots who don't know how to spell, or put a proper sentence together (watch, someone will pick apart what I write here) but I think that a great number of people have nothing better to do with their lives but sit on the computer and say stupid things about everything.  I don't think that you should really put to much thought into the stupid stuff.  Always look to the positive.  Only pay attention to the good stuff that people have to say when you are on the computer, and listen to your friends and family for constructive criticism.  The people here don't know you, they don't know how hard you have worked for what you do and they cant appreciate that.  There also might be a little jealousy.  So just keep on doing what you do to the best of your ability, and take all the bad stuff with a grain of salt.  For the record...I have seen some intelligent questions and some really helpful answers on this site.  But again...there are idiot everywhere you go, so just tune that stuff out and be who your are the best way you know how.  Keep playing that guitar...I wish I had that talent.  Best of luck to you.

This is funny cause I also had a question pulled a few days ago.  I person sent me a email telling me that she reported me.  The question was Who wants 10 points?  How far will you go to score the points.  Beg for them.  It was more of a joke question.  But the person that responded me took the time to respond to get her 2 points.  I asked the question to prove a point people answer easy questions just to get points.  I got 30 answers to my question before it was pulled.  The person that reported me said that she thought I was trying to play God.  This was so stupid.  I looked in her profile and saw the question she has been answering and I bet they was 10 questions in the last day that she answered like mine.  She also reported these people also.  She posted a question a few days before my questions asking why she never got chosen when she answered questions from people that wanted to know who wanted 10 points.  She said these question make her mad because they are no right or wrong answer.  How could she never get chosen?  I think her not getting chosen has made her mad and she is out to get everyone that asks this question.  Beware don't ask this question.

They're just stuck on themselves and immature.  Obviously, they are insecure and want to bring you down to their level.  It's too bad that Yahoo has given them an avenue for their frustration.  Wouldn't it be nice if Yahoo declared that they could lose their Yahoo rights if they are rude?  In the meantime, stay cool.  I know it hurts your feelings, but most normal feel that way.  At least you had the nerve to wrote about it.  Congrats!

If you're going to insult people it's probably best to get your spelling and grammar up to scratch so they've nothing to throw back at you...\n\n\nAs for your question, well, I reckon yahoo figures that there's plenty of people who's egos won't hold up to the realisation that they are a menaingless, utterly insignificant nothing and that nobody gives a flying monkey f*** about their sad little lives, so they prefer to believe that if they write the minutiae of their pitiful existences into a blog then the whole world will, off course, be hanging on their every word, so yahoo simply provide a service they know will get used.

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.

sadly you will learn the more you are on here that there truly are some rude and nasty people on here. But not everyone is like that, there are many great users on this site too. Just try to ignore the idiots. Not always easy, granted, but the best way to go. Hope it gets better for you...much luck!

I agree that you picked the wrong category. Some friendly advice-remember if you post in politics, by nature almost everyone posting answers in this section is mad about something.  It's a bit of a hoot to make fun of, and be made fun of by, people I disagree with.  So you are far more likely to run into foul-mouthed a-holes occasionally.\n   Also, I would think twice about asking personal advice to complete strangers.  You don't know who is sitting behind a keyboard.  Well, sorry ya got insulted.  And whatever problem you have, that it works out for you in the end. \n  Best wishes.

I think I'm quieter on here, there's no point in abusing people unless they are being offensive or openly criticising another participant. \n\nI also keep my humour on a lower key too because I know someone will tell me to 'stop being dumb and grow up!' (awww, but why? I have to be serious in my job, I've gotta be dumb somewhere!)\n\nHaving said that I've just posted a question asking people about their funniest school memories so do contribute if you have any yourself!

It could be for a lot of reasons.  Rude or sarcastic people are everywhere.  Also some questions may appear offensive or attacking to others so they tend to answer back in the way they felt we are asked.  Since we are on the net posting and answering, whether or not the question is serious, we are bound to get all sorts of remarks.  Maybe in most cases it's not so much they felt you or someone else knew them...People may feel that they can be more rude on line because someone does not know them and they can be as much of a @# as they want without having to suffer any consequences such as a fight.

because people post the same questions over and over with terrible grammar, while the rest of us try to make serious questions.\n\n"Why do people"\n\n\nThis question has been posted many times, use the search feature.\n\n"why people so rude"\n"why people so mean"

It bothers a lot of us - you just seem to be hitting all the questions that the lazy jackasses ask. \n\nThere are, indeed, a section of us who type like intelligent individuals who give a rats' ass about the English language. \n\nThe rest of them give us a bad name, really, when you continue to read the news of how "chatting online can lower your IQ" - Sure, if you're a RETARD to begin with!\n\n♥

Its called FREE SPEECH And really if you don't like it YOU shouldn't be on-line. Why get mad or upset over someone talking about you who you will probably never meet?  That do people make fun of you in real life? If so should they not be allowed to live? I'm sure you've said something about someone atleast once in your life so get over it. It might be cause you cant spell though too.

Okay that was rude. But censorship sucks too, and where would they draw the line? I don't think they have time to check out every single thing we write on here anyway. You have to be pretty tough to play here sometimes. Just ignore rude people and be happy about the nice respectful ones who don't act that way. Or if someone says something really bad report them.

Yahoo Answers is probably not the place to get in touch with the most caring, understanding and gentle people. It is a site for the young, for the bored, for the oversexed and the insomniacs. \nI try not to be too sarcastic in my answers but I have noticed I do fail - and while I am not proud of this, I also believe the questions are to be blamed sometimes. Quite some of the postings are completely unbelievable. \nI will easily admit that there are a lot of horrible postings in both questions and answers, but that always seems to happen in such online groups. I guess the best way still to deal with it is to ingnore it. What else can you do?

If you think your current friends are stupid and they see you on yahoo answers saying they are stupid, do you think that people are going to want to be your friend after what you have said about your other friends being stupid. And, try a chat room for the place you live at.

I don't know what kind of questions you've asked, how serious they sounded or how seriously you meant them, but your first mistake was expecting Yahoo! Answers to be a great reference site.\n\nI disagree that it is more a cheap chat room than a serious discussion forum.  I have found some thoughtful questions and some very thoughtful answers.\n\nI agree that the answers can be general and some are quite idiotic, but you cannot expect to find some large group of highly-educated and experienced advisors sitting here waiting to answer your questions.\n\nI have made a few off-hand remarks and have barely held off from making some others in here, because of the inanity of the questions.  Most of those answers I'd make again, because the nature of the questions called for them.  Most often I answer questions thoughtfully, even if I don't expect to have my answer considered by the asker.\n\nI've been here for a couple of weeks or so, and have yet to ask a question.  I don't expect to ask many, but I expect that I'll get a goofy response or two to any that I do ask.\n\nLeave, if you'd like; there are no chains here.  I'd suggest you take a break and reflect upon what it is you really expect from us.  We're just people.  We're from all over the world, all ages, all sorts of backgrounds, but we're not really representative of the entire world or even your entire community.  Maybe when you think about who you share the space with, you can get a better handle on the quality of responses you can expect.
