They don't have to be. 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. It's like in school when the teacher asked , are you helping with the solution or are you part of the problem.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.There are also point gamers who answer just to get 2 points the easy way they should be reported

Lol I agree! I asked a question the other day about psychology, and the only response I got was: "Nobody cares. Whats the point of asking this question?" And I thought: "Um, isn't that the point of this site? To ask questions?"
If people don't want to answer questions properly they should not be on Yahoo Answers.
Some people just have nothing better to do with their lives but to troll on the Internet. I feel sorry for those people.

Some users are rude simply because they can, and they are anonymous. They are probably not like that in real life but as they are anonymous on the internet, they feel they can say what they like. It is best to ignore these type of users, as I have said before, there are a lot more nice users on this site then there are bad ones.

People either a) like to shock ppl so they jst say something completely off the wall psycho to get a reaction (they're called trolls) or b) they're a mean person and this site allows them to say what they want with no consequence. There are lots of nice ppl too and lots of good advice. You have to ignore the meanies bc they jst want to get a "rise" out of ppl.
