Yahoo! Answers Hooligans?

Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot of bitter and angry people on Yahoo! Answers that feel the need to attack people out of the blue with no provocation for answers they have given?

    Oh yes, I've noticed. It's impossible to miss. It's a tumor on the face of this site.

    Of all the bitter folk, the most grating are the ones who refuse to admit to themselves that they are bitter. They write with an air of entitlement, as though they have the right to harshly judge every answerer. Some seem to believe that they alone have all the answers. I respect and enjoy confident answerers, people who have wisdom and share it kindly. I love answerers with a sense of humor. I've read some absolutely amazing stuff on here. Sometimes I have something worth adding. Usually not.

    It's so easy, so tempting to spew venom from behind a cloak of anonymity. It can be intoxicating, like a payback for the wrongs we all endure in our lives. I wish Y!A could warn everyone to be careful of it on the day they sign up. Censorship only seems to fuel the fire.

    HOW DARE YOU CALL ME BITTER!!!.

    You act as though people with opinions different than you are bitter and mean.

    They are automaticlly Arrogant and attacking you!

    GET OVER YOURSELF.

    You aren't that IMPORTANT!

    Just Kidding,

    I know it drives me nuts that you come on here and ask simple ( well sometimes not so simple) Questions. And someone freaks out like they are personally attacked or something. I wish people would just chill and try to be honest and understanding of honest people.
