Why do people have to be so bitchy or sarcastic on Yahoo Answers?

Unfortunately the anonymity of message boards tends to bring out some less than pleasant people and others who seem to enjoy causing problems rather than providing solutions. Try to ignore them, report them if they break community guidelines or TOS. Fortunately the majority of members are sincere, polite and try to help other members.

It's sad but it is a fact of life that on all networking sites like this it does happen. People who are as timid as mice in real life can get a kick out of being (or pretending to be ) hard on here. If you met them in the street they would not have anything to say. Do not let them upset you, the majority of us are reasonable friendly people. Ignore the idiots and enjoy the site

Cause we can and there is always someone with a bitchy question so it's evened out:)

It is annoying. People seem to feel freer to be rude on the internet because of being anonymous.

If they are rude and don't make an attempt to actually answer your question, report and block them.

actually imagine some anybody is quick to take offense reason they experience what's major to them is being threatened. regrettably this incorporates the theory that different interpretations of their religions and different religions are only as valid as their own faith. only strikes me that, to those human beings, "appreciate" is something they are entitled, to now to not tutor others. .

Perhaps it is because they are having a bad day and need to take it out on someone

LOL at the last sentence. But people do it cos they can. Also it's a matter of opinion.

Are you on pms?
