Has anyone asked a question here and been given incredibly?

rude and nasty answers? If so, how did you respond? Just curious.

Update:

I know this is not a chat site; my question has to do with being unnecessarily rude and inappropriate.

Update 2:

Thank you seemyne!

    I haven't had that experience, but I've used the report button on "rude and nasty answers'.

    Before you do so you need to understand that 'rude' may not be a violation, but I have to assume that 'nasty' generally is.

    Are you the chief? The grand poo-bah? The King or Queen of the world? Are you GOD?? If not, than worry about your own answers and don't dwell on how other people are answering!

  • I block the user and flag their rude answer to my Q.

    I actually had this experience with you!!! I just ignore stupid people and move on with my life. Some people take things COMPLETELY out of context.
