When you live in a society, it takes guts to be rude,mean throughout your life.You can be labelled as an eccentric & despised by neighbours & relatives.\nBut when you are on net, the most cowardly person becomes bold,airs his views & does all that he can never dare to do in real life.

Writing in upper caps means shouting or yelling over the Internet. On the other hand, writing in slow caps represents normal tone of voice while chatting with anybody. Writing in small caps is considered a writing etiquette for online chatting and also causes no problems. So, be careful to not to use upper caps as it will just turn people off and they just wouldn't talk or chat anymore with you. Goodluck!

Yeah some people just have to be rude. I think it's because they have no lives or anything better to do. I mean people on here sometimes ask "questionable" questions, but it's set up as a question and answer forum so people can ask what they want and others can choose what they answer. Personally if I come across a question that is even too "questionable" for me, I continue to scroll rather than provide the asker of the question with some snide remark. So to all the people that think someone is asking a question with an obvious answer or that a persons question is dumb, grow up, that's what we're all here for to ask whatever question we want to get feedback, not your useless, ignorant comments. Quit being such smart alecks, you don't know the background of who is on the other end of the computer asking the question. Stop criticizing grammar and spelling and being so condescending. None of us is perfect. All the best.

because i dont want to sit here and read all that you wrote..no use bcause half of it probably doesnt relate to the question...just becasue it lets you type that much doesnt mean that you should.  Oh and to many big words.

I second that! Should someone start a petition? I think there should be a new category for people who intend to capitalize the first letter of a sentence and use punctuation. I know the "shift" key is way over on the left side of the keyboard, but I cannot bring myself to believe that everyone on Yahoo! Answers has stubby fingers that can't reach it.

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.

On the Web in particular, and in print as a rule, it's almost impossible to convey the shades of meaning and connotation necessary to get sardonic humor, sarcasm, etc. across to those not looking for it.  Text-only interfaces are a very literal medium.\n\nHere in Yahoo!Answers, sadly, a lot of people mistake nastiness for "humor" and tell the victims of their slanders that they have no sense of humor; so people come to expect that anything that can be interpreted as nastiness, was meant that way.

Dude, I have no idea what you are talking about, and from the looks of it, I don't think anyone else does. Also, typing in ALL CAPS is considered kinda rude. Sorry I couldn't solve your problem.

Some people just don't get it!  I guess they were never taught respect for anything.  I think sometimes people don't realize the power of "words".  They may think they are writing something really clever, and funny, when actually what they write can be very offensive or hurt-full to the person asking the question.  I don't understand why some people feel the need to just answer "any" question regardless if they have an educated answer, or not.  The entire Yahoo Answers thing was set up to help people find solutions to their problems, not as a "playground"  I'm not saying that all answers should be cut, and dry.  Humor always has it's place, as long as it lends it's self to a quality answer.

I agree it's very rude and arrogant of a person to correct your spelling instead of just answering your damn question!! lol and this is coming from an english literature major.

Do you not see the irony in your own question? You have done exactly what you are protesting against..set conditions. There are times when people may be searching for an answer but they are not quite sure how to phrase the question. By adding some conditions, they may simply be trying to phrase their thoughts into written words. Note I said 'may.' Unfortunately, ekimo is correct in saying there are those who can't help but be obnoxious. That is one of the drawbacks to the web. Anonymity frees the rudeness aspect at times. A sad truth of the current human condition, but one which we must all deal with at times. Best advice I can give you, is try to develop a thicker skin against the idiots and watch for those who truly care about what they say and how they say it. There are millions of truly nice people within reach..thanks to the net. Hmmm..which is worse, the foolishness or the ability to connect with some great people? Never let anyone tell you that you are not a good person. Only you can determine that. Live, Love and Laugh. The joke is on them isn't it?

Grammar mishaps are only the tip of the iceberg.  I just read an answer that was ment for another question, and on top of it, it was incorrectly written and rude as hell.

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!!

Not really.  This site isn't meant to be perfect as far as I know - just to give people reasonable answers to their questions.  No one is being graded on their writing here.  People are working quickly and just want to get the message across.  Some of us are more meticulous than others.  Some of us speak and write English a little better than others.  No big deal.  Life is too short to worry about such things.
