Why do people feel so free to be rude on YA?

Question

What is with people? Don't people have lives? It's interesting that people can jump so much to conclusions about someones life without any real information at all.

Answer 1

They have a computer to "hide behind" while they take our their daily frustrations on "innocent" people on here. For some, it's probably therapeutic.  

Answer 2

Hello,

Well in a real person to person setting, many likely as not would get a fist in the face but here you are at a safe distance to enjoy rabble rousing and getting your opponent's back up.

Cheers,

Answer 3

Its the absolute freedom without consequences feeling...its like when you leave house when you are 18 and feel you can do whatever until you are caught and punished! They will get theirs but its usually the ultimate freedom that leads to abnormal behavior.

Answer 4

Any time you interact with people in an online environment, you will get jerks and other rude life forms coming your way.  They're just a bunch of bored, dim-witted drones with uninteresting lives who compensate for their lack of excitement by being nasty to people who can't get their hands on them.

If it helps, whenever someone says something nasty to you either here on YA or anywhere else on the Web, picture them as some slovenly, unwashed basement-dwellar.  More likely than not, that's what they are.

Answer 5

conclusions are drawn based on whats given

what better and less rude answer post as much detail as possible

Answer 6

When you ask questions on any site, you have to be prepared for idiots and jerks, that is an unfortunate side effect of using the Internet, so many people out there and so many who are total nincompoops.

Answer 7

Well why ask a question if what you really want is your ego stroked?  I like anwsering honestly.  People have the freedom to delete the anwsers they don't like although you will never learn anything about yourself or life in general with that additude.  And I have a life which includes having a job that let's me waste endless hours and get paid great for it all I have to do is sit at a desk!  I anwser questions with the best experience I have and I'm a happy person so maybe my tough love advice will help someone.
