Just try to forget about their shortcomings and move on. You will enjoy the site more that way.
-
people are nasty everywhere. and i can take nasty in the context you used several different ways...
-
I think that many of us do get a little "short" with some types of questions and some types of people. I know that I have very little patience with the "help me, my married boyfriend hurt my feelings" questions or the "Could I be pregnant?" questions. I also tend to be a little "unkind" with those who are obviously attempt to get a "rise" out of one group or another. Things like "Christians are dumb. Do you agree?" or " Politician X is so dumb, what kind of idiot votes for him/her?"
-
What maybe nasty to you may not be to someone else
-
Unresolved personal issues, is my guess. Hopefully they'll work it out someday, and become more empathetic regarding others.
-
The majority of users here a quite nice. Try to ignore the A..holes. Just like in the real world.
-
Sometimes people are a little insensitive towards serious situations. Perhaps they can't put themselves in someones shoes or that's just the way they are; either way you should just try to ignore that which seems 'nasty' to you :)
-
Bad moods. Everyone has them. I wouldn't take it personal or nothin'.
-
Bad moods or just the way they are.
-
sometimes its not people being nasty,its that sarcasm gets lost when written down cos its all in the tone of voice.
-
Because if they tried it in real life, someone would clean their clock. Easy to be brave behind a computer screen;)
-
Maybe their just nasty
-
Well, the fact of the matter is that said nasty people spend a considerable amount of time here on AB. This can lead to PTSD, Forum-induced dementia and Chronic Small Penis Disorder or (CSPD). These are very serious issues that must be addressed, else AB fall by the wayside like Rwanda.

Hey I'm trying to sex up my next ex-wife, quiet.

I believe people's true spirit comes though when they are hiding behind a computer screen. And unfortunately, many people choose to be miserable and negative in an effort to deal with the unsatisfactory lives they've attracted to themselves. Of course, these types of people blame everyone else for their crappy lives and never bother to consider that perhaps, just maybe, their own nastiness accounts for 90% of the negativity they experience in life.
-
Because the world is full of nasty people. I'm often tempted to be nasty back to them (and occasionally give in to that temptation), but I've found that if you're sweet and kind back to them it drives them absolutely bonkers...
-
The majority of AB'ers are really nice, but there are a few who tend to be hateful. Sometimes I take it that they are just that way with me -- like they don't like me. But, then I see that they've answered someone else's question rudely, and I realize it's just the way they are. Just try not to let it bother you. It's hard, I know. I asked a question meant to be funny last week and got a couple rude answers to it, and it hurt my feelings. But don't let the rude or "nasty" people get you down. Focus on the good answers and comments you get to your questions, and focus your energy on asking good questions and giving good, positive answers.
-
"it takes all kinds to make the world go around."
-
Because there A holes
-
I think it's human nature to focus on the negative answers. I know that 99 people can compliment me, but I forget it all for the 1 person who criticizes me. But honestly, the difference of opinion AND helpfulness of answers is what makes the good ones stand out. Bad or negative answers make the good ones so much better.
-
It took me a while on Answerbag to realise that there are real people who deserve respect behind the text. Maybe the people giving nasty answers just haven't realised this yet.
-
Some people are nasty on Answerbag because they are expressing a part of themselves that they are unable to express in "real" life. Here, there is no reason to exercise self-control or be polite, because no one knows who you really are anyway. It can be a way to get relief by venting the feelings you can't show.
-
I think sometimes it's deliberate because it's easier on the pc than face to face and on other occasions I think it could be that perhaps the person doesn't really understand the sensitivity of what is being asked/discussed. I have found that some people don't answer the question you have asked but just skirt around it but then that maybe because they just don't have the ablity to answer a straight question. I try and focus on the decent people who provide interesting and informative, well thought out answers.
-
Because they are small-minded and mean-spirited individuals. If you delve into their Q and A's you will often find that 90% of their responses are cynical and sarcastic, and designed to try and belittle the person asking the question. This might be because they can't think of anything constructive to say, so they try and mask their ignorance by 'trying to be clever'. If any of these characters are reading this, you know who you are! (and so do we!)
-
In my case; I am not trying to be mean ... I give an honest answer just like I'd tell you to your face ... Sometimes ; the TRUTH Hurts ... BUT; better to hurt with the truth ; than be ok with a lie or half truth .... Now; I have seen just plain MEAN azz answers ... that are totally uncalled for from a few idiotic jerks ... BUT; for the MOST part ... everyone appears to be FANTASTIC here on A/B ...

All can't be alike.AB is a small reflection of how the world is.So feel good that admist all nasty craps there are so many Angels.
