Why some people in Yahoo are so impolite?

I have to give credit to so many of you who had been so nice. However, there some people that criticize the way you write, the spelling and the grammar. Since when this game became a grammar game? The people that I'm talking about know whom they are . My point is if you have nothing good to say don't say anything. I would like to ask those people to show me their English B.A.if they have any. If they are an English teacher, they should be doing something else.. One of the rules is this game is to be polite and courteous. It take the same amount of time to be nice and polite than to be rude. Most of the people here speak others languages and to my understanding this is not a grammar class.

    Impoliteness: The internet is a way to express yourself anonymously. They do because they can.

    Grammar criticism: A way to poke holes in your argument or viewpoint or be nasty in general by pointing out things to reduce your credibility.

    Don't look for anything serious on the internet. If you want answers, do your own research and use credible sources. As far as looking for comfort and respect from people, don't get that online, get it from friends and family that you know.

    These people could be naked maniacs in a basement that they haven't left for six months. Many likely are. Always keep you profile private and DO NOT take these people seriously.

    I'm only on here because its mildly entertaining. Like a funny little monkey.

    Gloria, just ignore people that are being rude to you. Just ignore them.

    Now, if someone points out politely that you made a mistake, I suggest you take their advice as constructive criticism.

    yeah sometimes they can be really mean (ok, sometimes i'm too) but don't take it so seriously though like you say 'this is a game'
