Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Whats wrong with people?

Why do idiots on Yahoo! Answers, who have had an insulting answer to their question, then vent steam by asking a non-sensical question on here?

E.g. http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ao...

What do they think it will achieve?

Update:

I'm not having a go at anyone in particular, and I don't wish to insult the person who the link is reffering too. Its just that I don't see why people get so offended when they recieve insulting answers. Its just peoples opinions.

    I don't know, but you should take it up with them, I believe it is in the rules, that YOU are not allowed to do stuff like this...

    You get some bizarre people on here.I hate the men that come on here and obsessively ask about their balls or their penis, it's like they're using this site to go an ego trip! I've posted two questions on here today( Not daft ones) and somebody basically insulted my questions , had a go at me and asked if I was trying to use up my quota, For gods sake I've only posted 3 questions all day! There is too many idiots, but there's loads of people that post some really good questions and helpful answers.

    I think it is the "last word" syndrome. They feel by placing a question that really isn't a question that they got to have the last word...some live their life thinking that is how you win arguments and debates too. It's pretty sad when you feel compelled to do this when you are communicating with strangers. I ignore those just as I ignore questions like, "which celebrity is cuter?", or "If I cut my hair, will people like me?". Needless to say, I skip over a lot of questions.

    I mostly ask serious questions, but sometimes throw in a silly or contentious question like "Which tastes better, Dolphin or Koala?"

    I have discovered they are a lot of very funny people out there and I enjoy their answers, but there are a few who just take it all way to seriously.

    Sounds like they could be dead in the head like a ding on a dog, or maybe spent the better part of their life in the 3rd grade!

    It's obviously written by a young, immature person. You can do the most powerful thing possible- either report it as abuse or refuse to answer. It's that simple..
