I mean, you think you're coming here to gain some knowledge by asking a question, and all people do is call you names and act out of character on the internet.
Y! Answers needs to be shut down. And on my own accord. I'm cancelling my account.
Someone needs to stage a protest against either people bad mouthing others or Y! Answers intirely.
Peace.

Oh let me correct my spelling >> entirely.
Yea it was a typo but I know I'm going to see someone's answer saying "And learn how to spell, it's entirely not intirely."

People are negative like that because they know they have the freedom of saying whatever they like, while they hide safely behind their computer screen, with no threat of ever meeting the question asker in person.
I have also found that the bolder ones, who are that way in everyday life, are really just pathetic people who make themselves feel better, by making others miserable. Sick, I know....but they must have a very pitiful life of their own to feel the need to be that way.
Maybe we should feel sorry for them....lol...hard task to do, huh?

I don't want to sound rude, but I think you expect too much out of people that you don't know and won't know.
theres nothing wrong with that. people should be able to say what they want. I hate it when people try to control others. Don't censor my Internet. I think every one will appreciate that a bit more than you think.

its when they email you harassing you and you tell them to stop and they don't, that it becomes an issue.
other than that, ignore them. Who's going to be the bigger person, YOU, or them? (PS they probably don't care)
most people you meet in the world truly don't care anyway, so whats the difference?
control them online then control them in the real world.
who's going to do it the Manners Police?
or the Nazi regime
anyway, I agree with you that it sucks, but please don't give the punks or even Y!A that kind of power over what we have left of free speech.
I don't have a problem with these rude people. I just sit and fight with them a bit then move on.

What percent of all answers falls into the sub-category that causes you so much distress? You would shut this down based on a fraction of a percent? Maybe your parents should have had you put to sleep the first time you had the flu.

The world is full of these social misfits. They keep their mouths shut in real life to keep their teeth. What YOU have to learn is to not take their oral diarrhea personally. There are many thoughtful, insightful answer in there too. I hope you find a way to stay.

I guess the new block feature isn't working for you then, i personally just ignore the people who bad mouth me because i know that there really just small minded insecure people trying to make them selves feel better.

some people feel fearless I guess, when they don't have to face a person face to face u know? that's the only reason i can think.
trust me, not a lot of ppl would call others names right to their face.

Stick around awhile more, Sweetheart. Yahoo!Answers just revised their abuse system and things *might* get better.

it is pretty much anonymous... people tend to act like fools when they can say what they would never have the guts to say to someones face.
