Do you feel qualified to be judge and jury ? Are you a "know it all?"?

Question

Would you read a question about someone's health problems & start a rant about how "if they just stopped being so negative about everything their pain and their illness would be magically healed? " Do you assume that everyone on here with fibromyalgia and other pain problems caused them because of their "negative thinking"? When you dont even know that person, or how they have lived their lives?

Would you mock people who ask others to lend support through prayer because they believe in the power of prayer?

would you come onto a site like this and ask questions then block every single person who disagreed with you and try to build up your own little base of people who agree with your holier than thou, know it all attitude?

If you were a addict do you assume everyone who has a problem is also an addict or chose a lifestyle that resulted in them having hard times?

Would you ever assume such a holier than thou attitude that you would post an ignorant insulting comment like this? Which by the way is a rant IMO

Quote: Are some people happy to stay in their pain because they have lost faith completely? I live in constant pain & accept it & embrace it for what it is. I don't fight it or take meds to make it go away. I ask this because I truly do not understand why others would not want to. TRY positive thought in order to ease some of their physical & emotional pain. Anyone care to share their experiences with how they deal with pain & manage not to let it consume their daily lives?

And then block everyone who doesnt agree and bow down before the Queen of know it all?

Seems to negate the whole purpose of Yahoo answers to me -

And yes I have had my fill of a certain person answering everything I ask on here with a rant about how I live my life when she has no idea who I am or what I do, or did with my life.

I DIDNT waste it using drugs or being an alocholic though

Dont you LOVE someone who accuses everyone of being negative and then every word they post on here is telling other members what is wrong with them? Reporting people who disagree with her. Posting that others just arent as brave and wonderful and strong as she is?

Nothing negative about that right?

little ms negative is reporting again because we disagreed with her

Answer 1

Dearest Isotope-So sorry that this person offended you so. There's been more than once when I have asked a question, only to get some pretty rude and offensive answers. I'd turn off the computer and think about not going back on Y/A. Why go thru the aggravation and hurt? Because for every piece of crap person on here, there's at thirty others that are loving, caring, decent people. I'm sorry that when you were asking for help and support, that someone took the opportunity to kick you while you were down. But look at all the people that offered their love and support! Please try to embrace that and forget about the person/persons who offended you. Obviously these people have "issues" of they're own, and are probably in need of our prayers also. I hope your procedure went well for you and I will keep you in my prayers. Judy B

Answer 2

I certainly have no qualifications on being anyone's judge and jury. I have enough of my own things I need to take care of. I definitely don't 'know it all' and am always willing to learn. Sometimes things are not as they seem and I try to take this into consideration when I am dealing with others. I never know what they have been or may be going through. I'm sorry anyone treats you or others this way and can only imagine they must be a very unhappy person. Try not to let people like that upset you. Take care of yourself, you're in my prayers.

Answer 3

I would not assume I know everything and hope I haven't sounded like that on here, that is a valid point.
I do believe in positive thinking, I feel that is just another way to pray. I also believe in medication, there is something to be said in all forms of healing. I am sorry this person assume things that are not true, please don't take it to heart.
From what i see in you is a good kind intelligent person.
I also don't understand if you are on this site why you would block everybody(except trolls) it does defeat the purpose. How do you get other opinions? That is closed minded.
Anyway, I missed how your dr. appt went. I hope it went well, you are in my prayers.

EDIT: I've been blocked, I had no Idea we were all so threatening to her. Why would you be on here if every one who answers is blocked, too too funny

Answer 4

No judge or juror here. I don't know much and try to keep learning. I do have my own opinions and value others. That's why I like Q & A. I think you've said it all. Some people use the blocking feature as a form of abuse that they feel gives them power I guess. Hang in there Isotope2.

Answer 5

Aren't rants relieving? I also hate it when people just thumbs down and delete every single person who doesn't agree with them. If it's a question that really has one answer, like math, go ahead if they're wrong.. but questions on lifestyle and opinion? Back off! I totally stand by you there.

We do all have our moments though, where we just want to get in someone's face for something they believe in.. you just gotta have enough self control not to comment those feelings! That simple. Especially on this site in particular.. a lot of people need to grow up a bit before saying things.

Answer 6

Isotope: I totally apologize for
the smallness of some people.
Just let it run off your back
cause this person only can
understand their own narrow
opinions. that person is not
in the majority. She/he doesn't even make sense.
it would be mentally sick to
want to stay in a person's pain rather than finding a way out.
Just totally ignore this type
person and please don't
absorb their negativity into
your psyche. This kind of
person can cause a lot of
harm IF anyone pays them
any mind.

Answer 7

I wish I could judge people but I try to find more good in a person than bad,That might be why people are all ways telling me that I'm making a mistake in helping someone.I do care what people think about me.I just can't live there lives the way they want me to. It's my live and I'm me not you==I will never block a person, but I may ignore or not respond to you

Answer 8

I can only tell you about my physical pain and hope you are emphatic enough to want better for me whether it be through prayer or medicine and I think you would.

I just cant agree with folks that think they are far more superior than us regular humans. I know what you mean and there is no end to the judging for some people on here.

Answer 9

I don't know EVERYTHING, but I have good ideas as to where to find the answers. Some of the questions I've seen on here confirm my belief that many people are just too lazy to do some research on their own and instead expect others to just GIVE them the answers.

Answer 10

Not judging. I was going to try to read what you are ranting about, but your network is private, so I can't.
Just ignore whoever is offending you. All this long rant does is let them know you give their opinion some credence.

I am far from a know it all. If I have learned anything in life, it's that there is a lot more that I don't know than I do.
