Why do people take these questions so seriously?

I get all sorts of hateful and condescending answers on here. Even things I'm asking lightheartedly or to learn something from, I get storms of hate calling me "ignorant". Like.. Hello. I asked a question about it for a reason. Because I didn't know the answer...

    Some feel like they can say what they want,and not give an helpful answer i guess simply because they can.There are users who isn't on here to play nice,however these users can be reported as insults is a violation,users are not allowed to insult other users.Report a user by hovering there answer and click the flag,and tadah their answer can be deleted.

    However,it might take 2 or more trusted user for it to be deleted.

    It's usually because they think the person behind the question is stupid, a troll, or some youngster asking questions he/she shouldn't be asking. So they give mean or sarcastic responses.

    I know! I was 14 when I started one of my profiles on here and it shocked me that people were so mean! It is just how people are on the web. They are brave on here.....not so brave in person ;)
