Why are some people so rude?

[cinlee3]

when answering people's posts. If you don't like what they are asking or you are tired of seeing their questions or you don't like the subject - just don't respond to the thread.

What good does it do to answer in a way that you are putting them down or making them feel badly for asking something?

Beats me! I have never seen the point to being rude to others.

 

[newmousecateer]

I agree. I feel there are ways to express opposing feelings, beliefs or opinions without making others feel bad.

Seems like there are a few who just wait for a post so they can then be nasty to the poster or other posters. Although I see them mainly on the debate board. Many times I dont see a debate just attacks on others.

I don't know, perhaps they aren't getting enough of something in their lives. Lacking something or someone, perhaps.

I've always been rather curious as to why some people consistently respond with a chip on their shoulder. I mostly look past it, because there are truly so many nice people here who are always good for a smile or to listen when one is feeling down.

Snoopy, girl I so agree with you. But I bet you knew that.

That is why I quit posting on the Debate Board. I see no point in insulting others for their beliefs, body size, methods on saving $$$ in WDW etc.

Oh I know the answer I know the answer..........They need to ...... dang I can't say it on a family board!

I agree with you CinLee. Unfortunately there are always a few that feel better when they can put someone else down. A sad commentary on life, but have to say most Diser's especially on this Community board are great.

I was truly stunned and hurt to be characterized as a snotty, better than you, crazy/angry person that everyone I work with wants to shut up(crazy/angry was how I felt inside I certainly didn't walk around like a raving lunatic) . This characterization couldn't be further from the truth! I just makes me so sad.
Not only was I misjudged as a person, the story spun out of control by some people that didn't have all the facts.
The down side of having a computer is that facial expressions can't be read, tone of voice can't be heard, and body language can't be seem.
I think the nice posters here outweigh the ones who make nasty/hurtful uninformed replies.

 

[addicted_to_WDW]

I agree that sometimes people are rude on the DIS.

I also think that many times, people are overly sensitive and ask questions when they don't really want opinions, just agreement. If you post on an internet board, you have to be prepared for a little dissent.

 

[Nikole]

Of course you do addicted. If I don't agree with something I'm going to tell it. Odds are though I'll try to say it in a way that isn't meant to insult or hurt feelings but to simply express my feelings on it. OR after having been around the net for more years than I care to count...........these days I'd say 80% of the time I just ignore it and move on to the next subject.

LOL, Snoopy and Nikole - maybe they're not lacking "it" they just aint getting "it" satisfied.
Ever notice it's the same small group over and over and over and over and over..........................

I was never anything but nice on the DIS and then...boom out of nowhere I got put down, talked about and on and on....so I responded in the same way...just questioning why and then actually saying some mean things back....I should have known better.....sometimes the best thing to do is ignore and be happy. I realized I have a wonderful husband who adores me, a wonderful child and a wonderful family. Nothing that anyone says on here is going to get to me, its not worth it....they aren't worth it.

Just enjoy the friends you have made and ignore the rest. Wish I had learned that lesson sooner. {{{HUGS}}}} and yes tons of PIXIE DUST

 

[cinlee3]

I agree that the majority of the people here are great.

Bumcat - I also agree that it is the same group over and over.

I know everybody doesn't agree on everything - but why do some have to be so snipey all the time.

 

[Beauty]

This is the last thing I'm going to post because I don't want to get in trouble...but some people thrive on being mean. I have no idea why, but they think its fun, funny, a riot etc. I've been called stupid, a twit and everything else for honestly no real reason except standing up for myself. Thats why I just ignore.....some things/people will never change and again the best thing to do is just ignore and know who your real friends are

Beauty, in other words, you're getting some.

heh heh!

Hey Miss Jasmine, GMTA!

And Nikole, YOU started it! (I take no blame for the promiscious direction this thread has taken........ )
