BECAUSE PINHEAD- IT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD- GET USED TO IT DORKCHOP!!!!
Sorry- I don't know what came over me. It IS rather counter productive. If I'm wrong and someone wants to get their point across then the last thing they should do is put down the person in which they are trying to convince. It makes that person less likely to listen even though the one putting them down may be correct.
Great question- you made me think-- I hate you for that!!! LOL just kidding.
Have a great day!!!

This is a site for people with condescending attitudes. It is for anger management. People who bemean others to get their point across are angry and tense. Think of Ghandi or the Dali Lama and other peacefull people...could you imagine them angrily belittling someone for asking a question?
If some of the people that bemean you...would do this anger managment course then they may even say sorry to the victims that they were condescending to...because it is a hurtfull attitude and the person being bemeaned is the victim. It is not always the ego that causes them to be bemeaning...because the angry condescending person does not always like and respect themselves. They need a balanced lifestyle. You have to respect yourself before you can respect others.

Because people will be people, which means they are not always on their best behavior. Sometimes people take advantage of the anonymity of a site like this to say things that they would never say in real life. Unfortunately some people get pleasure out of being mean to others, even in an anonymous situation like this. Others think it is funny and that it will make people laugh. And there are always people who will laugh at the misfortune of others. Probably many of those who put others down feel insecure themselves and that is how they boost their own self esteem and egos. Generally in life I have found that the best way to handle it is to give such behavior no attention - it is the attention that rewards it, and makes sure it continues.

Because they are not so educated on the point as they would have you believe, so they compensate by being cruel.
Remember, humans are the only creature on the planet that will inflict pain on another living creature for entertainment, knowing it to be pain. Don't be surprised.

Lots of people, even intelligent ones, suffer from "good guy - bad guy" syndrome. If I want to be assured that I am a "good" guy, the easiest way is to make you be the "bad" guy. It's all just lack of self esteem.

I don't. Sometimes it's tempting on this site, though, since many users seem to be very closed-minded and uninformed about things, not to mention the terrible spelling and grammar errors.

i guess it is because their brain is functioning giving the point across and their not thinking with their hearts. Intelligence without compasion is dumb, but intelligence with compasion is wise.

because they are narcissistic... or uppity to make themselves feel better.... even if they are wrong they won't continue to argue a case they will just get personal
