why are people on this board so worried about what others have to say?

I like the way you think...

Sometimes.  Some people mistake this place for a discussion board, but often it does work.  Be careful about the answers you get, though, if you are asking about something important.  People can wrong, and on occasion it does happen

There are innumerous people in this site that pass judgement, why they come no one really knows. So while it may seem a little silly sometimes you need to put in a disclaimer i.e. note that you're not asking to challenge but for information or to have an intellectual discussion hopefully that should minimise the backlash, but then again everyone likes to have a bitch.\n\nLuck!

If you've recognized the question you can probably find the answer. People are just too concerned over stupid things like that. It's almost like asking why does a guy love football or why does that lady want to have D&G shoes?

lol please keep these fools in a reality check, they need it. if it is mean to speak your mind and ask questions that are of an honest nature then be my guest and keep up the good work. some of these nutts take a person's opinion to the very depth of their soul, like a total strangers one thought or opinion is the only esteem crushing matter in the world. mean, no just human and honest!@

People are shy or unsure of themselves or both.  They are scared they will mess up and people will laugh at them or think badly of them.  Personally, I love speaking in public.  Then again, I'm very out-going and sure of myself.  I also have very strong opinions and do not mind expressing them in the least.

I hope I am wrong, but I think many of them are really that ignorant and close minded.  And they want someone to agree with them, without being given criticising looks by those who disagree, so they post their stupid questions here while no one can see their faces.

Why are you trying to sow dissent here?  There are people on here trying to keep it less like a battlefield and more like a place for important questions on faith, and questions like this don't help.

To some, misery loves company and if they can bring someone down they feel they have made an accomplishment.  Mind you, some answers may come off as sarcastic and may have indeed been meant by the answerer as witty or even cute.  Unfortunately it isn't always this way.  There will always be someone who has something to say and often it makes them feel better about themselves if they think they have lowered someone else's self esteem.\n\nIt doesn't make it morally right but Freedom of Speech has given the right of way to even those who interpret little or no thought into what they say.

I've seen some abusive answers and questions, it's expected due to this online open answer and question forum.  Don't take offense to any answer, people are just sharing their opinions.  Don't give them any of your personal information, be careful and just don't give them the time of day.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  They can say what they want, and so can you.  You are not the only person in this world, so you are not going to get what you want.  So quit b*tching about it.

False premise.  Not 'everyone' is scared ...'.  Come back when you have a real question.\n\nand have a nice day.

Agree. Strongly agree. Why? Because for one, there are things that I say on Yahoo! Answers that people I know in my daily do not need to do. There are just some things that you dont mind stranger knowing because they are less judgemental... or that they really won't say anything to you... or that they you will tell you straight up what they think and you don't have to give a crap about it.\nFor two, there are some things that people ask over here regarding to those people, so it'd just be awkward if they found out.\nAnd for three, sometimes its just better so then they wont start answering your answers and then ask you questions regarding the question that you asked that they answered.\n\nWow, that was a mouthful...

Probably because there are some ignorant people out there.  There are some people who genuinely come to "Y Answers", looking for serious answers.  While others view it as an opportunity to ask irrelevant or sometimes disgusting questions.  Therefore, when you have a good number of people being silly and derogatory in their questions, you'll get silly and derogatory responses, and at times those people will spill over onto questions that are quite sincere.  I'm not trying to excuse anyone's behavior. I'm just thinking maybe that's the reason why so many people act so immature on here.  I must admit, though, that it doesn't bother me as much anymore because there are 10 responsible, fun and respectful people for every one of those ignorant ones.

I wonder the same thing Perry, You ask a honest question and you get a bunch of negativity. If they have nothing nice to say, why bother at all?

great point....    this is something that bothers many of us...  if you don't  have an answer - skip it,  and if you  have nothing good to say- say nothing..   obviously   too much common sense for some people...lol...
