Has any one besides myself noticed ?

People that give rude, nasty or just cruel answers are so chicken. Why else would it always be those people that don't except return e mail? People that just give straight forward information, answers or opinions don't use the ability to be rude and then hide. Now I know I am going to get some Beavis and Butt Head style responses to this, and the odds are they will be from the people who don't except replys / e-mails. Since they are the people I am speaking about I won't be surprised. I like people who think more positively and their thoughts and opinions would be interesting.

when I see a baiter or haters post pretending to make a genuine post i answer as if it is for real... I give an honest answer... this frustrates the hell out of most of them... that generates the hotest responces... which i just ignore

Yes, I've noticed that too. But, hey, we've got enough to worry about, right? Don't let them and their pitiful lives get you down.

you have a point
HOWEVER
there is a difference betweeen tellin git like it is and lying to be a jerk

i tell it like it is. people ask a question.. i tell em straight up.
it may be rude
but its not just to be mean

Yeah.

In order for rudeness to flourish, there has to be darkness. Some people just love to be rude. It actually makes them feel big.

thats very true

This forum is special because it allows an opportunity for people to fill a very basic need (okay...other than food, shelter, clothing)...that of helping and being helped.

What an awesome thing...

Some have a need to be rude, nasty, cruel, or just plain hateful.

Thankfully, we can chose to embrace what is good despite them.

Keep on finding the positive and interesting!!!!

Some people doesn't allow email from others on here because otherwise they would get a lot of spam and insults on their email address. It doesn't necessarily mean they are being rude.
Rude people are the ones who give others vulgar and insulting and/or offensive remarks on here.

Your right and some of them are so nasty they keep on answering all your questions very rudely and emailing you hatefully and you cant do the same.

nah, never noticed.

We are in the same boat. That is why I don't stick to soliciting answers all the time especially when I'm not sure that there are nice people around. But let's be optimistic. Afterall, life is meant to be like this and like that.

oh i love the ones who send you nasty snide emails on the side .. AND THEN hide their email address and you can't reply ...

cowards!!!

when i answer a question is can come off rude because its not what the asker is wanting to hear so of course alot of times they will think its rude. I dont hid though..ppl have the right to contact me and when they do i always reply back.

no

It even happens in chat rooms, they come to your pages to leave insults and their pages are all closed up.

Sometimes I am rude but in an adult way to ppl who are just posting questions to create chaos or those who are obviously lying but they can always contact me via email, I've got nothing to be afraid or ashamed of.

What I also don't get is why ppl add you and then you find out that they don't even have the email open so there is no way one can communicate with them.
