Why are people so rude on here?

ive just ready a question asking people to predict the sex of Mercia's baby. some idiot felt the need to answer @hopefully you will be having a miscarriage'

i cant believe people would say things like this! If your not interested in the question then simply dont answer instead of being so rude and spiteful. Just had to get this off my chest, sorry but i think answers like that are disgusting.

    I agree with you.Some people just like to show themselves up,and as its done anonymously,theres no come back.

    I can tell you why ppl is rude on here, the simple truth is this , they are a bunch of punk *** b!thces that don't have the balls big enough to say it anywhere else, so they do it on here, cuz honestly some of the remarks I have gotten from ppl if they told me to my face (which they wouldn't have in the first place) There would be alot less ppl in this world. I feel you bro

    That's horrible!

    Some people are rude on here, because they can get away with it. The worst thing that can happens is your account being taken away (that hurts). But most of the time you may receive a violation which takes a poxy ten points!

    I'm sorry you had that experience. People say hurtful things. I agree that the comment you speak of is just plain wrong. Many feel they can say anything on here because no one knows who they are. They really don't care who they are hurting. Good luck with the baby...I think it is gonna be a girl!

    I totaly agree, I think that there are a lot of jealous and spiteful people on here who probably don't have any good in there lives and don't want anyone else to be happy.

    Simply because they are naturally rude people, who can hide their ignorance under a cloak of anonymity.

    See if they give a response address. They probably don't, but if they do then ask them what pleasure they get from their rudeness. They probably think they are being funny.

    If it bothers you that much, please report it as an abuse of the Y/A guidelines by clicking the "Report Abuse" link next to an answer - IF it qualifies as a violation. You can explain your reasoning in your report.

    See http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_guidelines... for 20 reasons/instances where reporting a violation is appropriate. This includes "point gaming," "soliciting," "racist/explicit remarks," "insults," "offensive language," and etc.

    Then, Yahoo will determine whether the answer is actually in violation or not.

    Also, see http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-d8pH0dcoRKeB12yOcnU... for the Y/A team's series of posts about violations.

    Courtesy is in the "Do's" of the guidelines. They think they can get away with saying whatever.

    Otherwise, let it go.

    That's terrible. It's easy to hide behind a computer screen and give smart @ss answers.

    At least you can be happy you don't have to deal with these kind of idiots in a one to one situation.

    It was uncalled for and stupid but then of course there always was the creature that thought it was being clever only to show how pathetic it is.

    Try and put this moron out of your mind and get on with your own sensible life.
