Are all of these childish name-calling and insults. Chasing people away from Y!A?

Question

Or is this site to be changed to "Yahoo Insults" instead?

Answer 1

It's easy to say something meanly in writing because you don't have to see what affect it had on the person. Some people will be able to shrug off the words, but for others it can be very devastating. There have been questions posted that I have wanted to answer but I knew my answer would go against what the general population was expressing so I skip them because I've seen how nasty some of the user at this site can be. I can't control what others say but I can and do take responsibility for what I say. In answer to your question Buzz, I would suspect it chases a few people away, how many, I don't think we will ever know,

Answer 2

kiss me or kill me, whatever you think you got the best shot at. ha ha. It's all in fun guy, WHOA! EDIT: i understand your feelings better now. I think I meant that often times I'm not sure if people want to kiss or kill me, so to speak. You are genuninly a respectable man, and it is a good reminder to be more thoughtful, as sometimes I can go off half-******, and many times it is because of a misunderstanding. and then sometimes i get so sick off the insults and name calling I give it right back 10 fold. but the true purpose of this forum, as far as I am concerned (and despite the guidelines) is to share information, humor, and let off some steam. plus it is a good way to learn things and come in contact with others completely different than myself, and hopefully I can do that with an open mind, though not always, I will admit. I think people get chased away from this site for a variety of reasons, like getting violations or deleted accounts over something that's G rated for lack of a better term at the moment. the backbiting can get frustrating, but this is not the case with P&S, this site is generally wild whacky and fun, though i am not one of the in-club. ha ha. But I don't join clubs anyway.I don't think most people insult others just for the fun of it. that would be quite chidish, and something to make me sick. some of these little boys hiding behind of mommy's apron strings anon. (her computer) just to spew a bunch of racist BS is pretty pathetic. I call them computer tough guys. In true life they ain't much.

Answer 3

Some people think that on Yahoo! Answers:

Their Opinion=Insults

Answer 4

It can get very childish on here with some comments - others are just down right disgusting (like justifying anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, gay bashing, attacks on Christianity, Islam, atheism, etc, etc...). However, I think we all can find our corners here if we want to. Mine has mostly been answer questions in the Education section (which makes sense since I am a teacher). We all have to as humans have some tough skin.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 5

I don't think the name calling and insults are actully chasing anyone away. We just need to consider the source. The ones doing the name calling are just trying to revert all the attention back to themselves. When we respond to the insults they are getting the attention they do not deserve!!!

Answer 6

It sure did not chase me away, and to me anyone it did chase away is someone I want gone. When I have some down time I like to interact online, but I have not had any luck on bulletin boards because people are so darned touchy. You can be nice as pie and still offend somebody if you use an "i" with the wrong kind of dot or something. Then they do a big online pout and their online buddies try to engratiate themselves by scolding the 'offender'. I have stuck with Y! Answers because everybody is allowed to be as unkind as they wish without the entire online community pulling their panties into a permanent bunch. It is fun, name-calling and all.

Answer 7

i must be incorrect yet i've got been analyzing up an following this concern for a at the same time as. i've got talked to followers that say issues like "That proddy/catholic ba**ard" and then that comparable individual say the conflict between Rangers and Celtic followers have no longer something to do with faith. Sounds contradicting, i be attentive to, yet they're in simple terms interchangeable words style to communicate. i think of, frequently talking, the followers quite do no longer care what faith a individual claims. The be conscious "Catholic" and "Protestant" are in simple terms labels interior the previous employer way of existence. Odds are once you're a proddy then you definately're a Rangers fan and consequently a "loyalist pig" and once you're a Catholic then odds are you're a Celtic fan and consequently "Fenian scum" (even however the two communities are based in Scotland) occasion. once you're a Protestant Rangers followers then you definately ought to have a no longer elementary time trusting a Catholic as you will immediately assume they seem to be a Celtic fan and consequently you're mortal enemy. And visa versa of direction, there are followers obtainable that do hate others according to faith besides the shown fact that it is not elementary to tell apart them between something who in simple terms decide to taunt the different group. honestly, the finished rivalry isn't approximately faith. this is approximately politics, background, and way of existence. As I stated, i must be incorrect so be at liberty to remarkable me. Any Rangers or Celtic fan obtainable is unfastened to touch me as i'm open to getting to grasp.

Answer 8

I stay out of the drama and stick to what this site is about...answering people's questions. Honestly, i didnt know there was so much dramam going on. After all, who would suspect it in a Answering site?

Answer 9

I'm still here...and those dipshits don't bother me. They all have to start over with new accounts, and you will notice that when the questions are so obviously insulting and vulgar. I just bypass those questions.....and if they happen to answer one of mine, I do the norm; report and thumbs down (like everyone else).

Answer 10

No... they're not being chased they're being deleted... It's a HUGE miscarriage of justice... but it's Y!A not a democracy. Them's the breaks.. fortunately the good ones always come back in one form or another...
