It brightens my day and keeps me in good humor.

I'm not sure what can be done. I've run into many a troll on the internet, every messageboard has them. I've tried the old reporting routine but inevitably they come back under a different user name. Unless Yahoo starts to police the boards more strictly I don't see anything changing. Best thing to do is ignore and DO NOT reply to their postings. Trolls are posting to get attention and make people angry. Replying to them only exacerbates the situation.

Sometimes you ask a question just to see what others think.\nThen you read it and think, YUP it is a STUPID question. LOL...

Thank you for asking this question, i was suspended because a certian idiot reporte me for the dumbest reason, gaming, chatting, adult content, whatever she could think of.  Yet when I dipsuted it no one had the courtesy to even write me back.\n\nI was even given a violation for answering a question in which i got a best answer...is that not so stupid.  at least my questions were amusing instead of the same old lame ones that are posted here daily.\n\nWhere the hell is the justice in all of this.  I wish that people who have the balls to respond and email me with their snarky comments would at least post questions that i in turn could respond to or put up their email address.  Bunch of gutless wonders.  Yahoo should at least make the attempt to answer the person who is taking the time and effort to fight the deletion...

Because some people just like to answer a question for the sack of answering and have fun. They are not interested at the details but just their own opinion...

They're the hollow gestures of shallow jerk-offs who are pretending to be part of something-- not because they need answers and value the time and opinions of others, or because they seek to contribute to a community of reciprocal virtue, but because they seek validation simply for existing, and they feel that posting questions, regardless of the merits of their contents, is a cheap and efficient way of letting others know they exist, and of not giving a $h!t about anyone's answers.  It's toys having their cake and eating it too.\n\nDon't worry-- they'll die lonely and unloved, delusional in the remembrance of once doing something with meaning.

Don't take the answers so darn serious as there are a lot of people on here who are very immature and say anything that they think is funny.  But there are others who think about the question being posed and then try their best to answer it reasonably and with some dignity.  So you will regain your self esteem and just don't be so sensitive when reading what some clowns answer to your questions.

Why do people ask such generalized questions that are hate mongering?

it depends on the person as to which subject to discuss.  some people just get on here to waste time and ask pointless questions for the heck of it. others are seroius about what they ask and need serious answers.  i still dont understand why there are still those that put stupid remarks like "i dont know" for answers to important questions. it frusterates me but what can you do?

you know they say that crap to piss people off don't you, and in responding you are encouraging them to contiue. THey are called TRolls, don;t feed the trolls

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.

they're probably little kids who think it's funny. report them. eventually, MAYBE Yahoo! will get the point and find some way to not let those questions be asked, since they are against the guidelines anyway.
