the best way will be a question from you saying "why are you asking?" with all the smile and sarcasm and politeness and assertiveness all in one- they'll think twice about the question-

Well, we can't understand what you are talking about . . . it you keep deleting your question . . . because you don't like how the other people are answering.\n\nMe, at times, I can be rude . . . especially . . . when other people give people wrong advice and it is the only way I could get their attention.  Sometimes I can be rude . . . because I am an a*hole too . . . \n\nAnd I am serious too.

I just smile sweetly at them and say "Thank you.  Have a nice day."\n\nIt's a sly way of telling them to piss off.  The contrast between your ultra-niceness and their rudeness will point out to them how rude they're being.

They're not all rude responses.  Think of it as if you walked into a busy mall and shouted out a question.  Some will relate to your question, some will be experts on the topic, and then some won't be very knowledgeable at all, but will want to make a joke of it.  I think you get a mix of answers here.  You wouldn't want to base your life off of an answer you get here, but you might get something to consider.  And, it does depend on the topic.  For example, I don't see alot of rudeness in the food recipe area.  In any case, if you can ignore the 'rude' ones here, you will find there are alot of nice, genuine folks here as well.

Be who you are.  Learn to let it slide off you.  When someone insults you, either don't answer at all, or shrug like so what.  You don't have to make excuses for who you are, or feel bad about it.

No manners at all. They should atleast have waited til you guys left to make those comments. My guess is they were purposely trying to get a reaction. Some people are so stupid they don't think before they speak. Maybe one day they will run into the wrong person someone not as kind as your family.

Remarks and jusgments are part of the world we live in.\n\nIf its not about your color it will be your accent\nIf its not your nationality then it will be your religion\nIf its not your religion then it will be you ideological views\nIf its not .....\n\nIf the remark hits something that objectively penalize your work or creates prejudice against (and sometimes for) then you need to address it as an issue and not a personal comment.\n\nMy suggestion is take not of it, don't answer back or stay respectful by consuming it... Add the comments, if you here others living the same thing, than add those up, make sure your owm conduct is flawless...  \n\nThen always be prepared to present something with facts and how it affects your work or whatever environment you are in. Let him or her shout themselves in the foot. Be patient and be also ready to let go (forgive) I find that for many, ignorance is the fondation of such comments. Continue to act kindly (Not Gullibly) and learn about yourself, as when it hurt, who is hurt and why.\n\nSuccessful people are good communicators and they are able to discern and THEN discriminate what is important from what needs your attention.\n\nThe future of humanity will be in are capacity to communicate with each other. This is a great time to learn.\n\nGood luck !

Yes. once in a while when I ask a question,I will get many nice, informative answers, but there are always those few that feel the need to be rude, even when your question is serious in nature..I just try to ignore the rude ones, but yes, it does get on my nerves!!

well, if your experiece is that people won't even take the time to get to know you then it's natural for you to want to be rude to them. those jerks... they left you all alone!! so yes, i would say it's human nature... therefore normal for you to be rude and untalkitive.

Personally I would want someone to tell me. I mean really you could be saving someones life by telling them that. If they get an attitude just apologize and figure you probably won't see them again so who cares but I would definitely say something if I were in your shoes.

It happens.  But the REAL question should be:  Do you take a person more seriously when they take the time to spell properly(and none of that netspeak like gr8 and ur), use proper grammar, and above all PUNCUATION?  I know I certainly do, and while I admit to making the occasional typo, I am more wont to give a sincere answer to a question that has been asked 'properly.'  On the flip side, if someone is barely literate I am more apt to give a sarky and sarcastic response.

OMG yes!  I'm responding to him as a result!  Fortunately for me, the person who asked the question, where the man who was rude to me is, is cool with my responses there taking up his question's space!\n\nSorry for your misfortune as well.

I know exactly how you feel....\nYou know what's really bad though...Is those times you catch yourself doing that...\nI think in most cases it's not intended to be rude.  People just like to make conversation about anything and get so caught up in something they've been wanting to say they forget about being rude.\nAnd in some cases people might change the subject because they can't handle the one that's being discussed....\nYou're right, sometimes it is funny...\nWith your really good friends, you ever notice that sometimes you can have two or three conversations going at once.....and everyone knows what everyone else is talking about...Never missing a beat.. That's hecka cool.\nIt's only the ones who want all the attention on themselves you've got to watch out for...\nGoodaytoyou...\nAnd maybe you should thing about becoming a play-writer! !
