Answer 1

Answer 2

There are users who chose somebody else for their own private reasons and use them as such. Human mind and soul remain a mystery. I was used as a punching bag for my ideas about my countrie's enemies, about my having been raised in another country, for being friends with other users in real life.
I am sure you know that people who tranfer their mental and psychologiacal problems in the virtual internet reality, which should be fan and entertainment, even a chance to meet new freinds, and not a substitute of real life.

Answer 3

If you worry less, stop masturbating and get one thing at a time in order. Like getting an education. With a more positive outlook you will notice that things become easier with time. And you can turn too the only one that is still there. You. According to families ages, when they passed on, you have 50 years plus left. Peace.

Answer 4

exactly, from gelousy or whatever else, not because of points or top contributors badge(even if we had also this in a particular section)as if we had stolen it from somewhere.There were people whose their only thought was this, the points and the gossipings with secret emails while in that section the trolls with their provocative questions were around walking and insulting..Where was their patriotism?
A part of this, i received comments and insults from a particular section of a particular country, but for the only thing i can not blame them is for reports, i know they never did it, as i never did it to them...
So, the target always are the users who have a strong presence, or who disagree with the political positions of others.Thats why even if in questions such as''you like spinach pie\\for example theymust thumb them down...because either they dared to have some points more, or they come from a particular country wqhich has different opinions, or even if it doesnt have...they DARED not to agree with them...
Pathetic isnt it?

Answer 5

Alas! But, the emotional punching bag, like the boxing punching bag, cannot punch back with a knock-out punch!

Answer 6

Yeah some people like to take out their frustrations on other people especially when they are behind a computer and are anonymous. You just have to ignore the morons and focus on the good people.

Answer 7

Yes, I have had and still have such an experience in the travel section of a country, where I do not partecipate any more, first by a paranoid aged man who, claiming the section for himself reported all my question and sent defamatory mails everywhere, and lately by a hysterical, also aged woman, who is after my answers, posting links to them and commenting openly my likes and dislikes.
It's well understood that these people have multiple accounts and are hard to avoid.

Answer 8

Yes at times people are quite brutal

Answer 9

The link you have given is deleted sweetie but if i got what you mean right if you mean the people who are filled with rage and hate, you are completely right.

Answer 10

Yes...some people take out their aggressions here..but it's not good when they do it at the expense of others.
