Why do some people report answers that aren't even offensive?

Some person posted that they were stressed out and really wanted to smoke meth.

I answered "meth really f**ks you up in a big way. Get help if you can't live without it"

Can somebody please explain to me how this is so terrible? Sure I could have typed "really messes you up" instead of using an altered swear word. But the thing is....I was trying to be helpful to prevent this person from destroying their health. So why would somebody (probably the person who posted the question) report me? I'm wondering if they already were on drugs and that's why they reported my answer, because it doesn't make sense to me. I've seen far worse stuff posted on here than what I posted.

Also, have any of your answers ever been unfairly reported?

Update:

Hehe....I almost f**king forgot how many crazies there are on here!

    Some people look for a answer to support them and when they don't get the answer they want they report it.

    I have been reported more than once over the "rate me" questions. I didn't give them the rating they wanted so they reported it.

    Bottom line is a lot of immaturity.
