Why are there people on here who respond to questions in such an angry & hostile manner?

Alot of cases, the question that was posted has nothing in it for them to be getting all angry or upset over.

Certain people on here seem to make it their life mission to make someone feel bad! That's not right & I won't stand for it any longer!

snowlady	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 6:12PM Because it takes all kinds to make up this world... even the VERY BITTER ones! If I had my way, those people would be banned--- atleast from EP--- but it's not my choice, UNFOURTUNATELY! Maybe if we all banned together against them... LOL! Rated: +3Vote for this!
gryfnn	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 6:13PM Maybe feeling angry and hostile is something that most people feel at one time or another---honest expression of how you feel, shouldn't offend anyone--unless they choose to take it personally. Mooo, you are right; most people aren't "nice" all the time. Most people are not "angry and hostile" all the time either. I like this site for the very reason that people are free to express whatever they feel or think--just because I don't agree with them--doesn't mean they should be banned. People who don't agree with me, are often very interesting---and I learn from them. Rated: +3Vote for this!
OldGroupiesNeverD ie	Posted Jul 10th, 2009 at 11:28PM Well, for a start, no one can hear an EPer's tone of voice or see their facial expression, and so almost everybody will say something on this site at sometime or another which another person might take the wrong way. If you believe you will find hostility, you may start to see it in answers that were never intended to be hostile in the first place. Some people are just very poor at communicating their thoughts effectively. Secondly, as Gryfnn said: nobody is nice all the time! If you banned everyone who might cause offense to somebody here... there wouldn't be anyone left! :) Yes, some people take advantage of the answers section in order to give themselves a forum to be jerks, but some people use this section to ask some very hostile questions as well. I've had askers chase me with PMs after I've answered one of their questions, just because they want to start an argument! I try to learn from these people - even if all I learn is to look at my own life and feel relief that I have peace and happiness (and an education). They are simply expressing their own "truths", and they have a right to do so in a free and open debate of ideas. Rated: +3Vote for this!
Sweetcitywoman	Posted Jun 30th, 2009 at 5:34PM They are cheered on by like minded people,and those of us who have manners just have to sit back and watch. Or ignore. Which isn't easy. Especially you are the one it's being directed at. Some people have the ability to let it roll off their backs. Some don't. Rated: +2Vote for this!
pukirahe	Posted Jun 30th, 2009 at 6:12PM This is a micro world of all humanity, some people are mature, others are not. Moreover, the like and dislike of people are different, and these differences change with time and place. He who makes a girl angry may become her inseparable lover afterwards!

laceset	Posted Jun 30th, 2009 at 5:28PM It could be a number of reason... such as , Their childhood, their beliefs, chemical imbalance, and maybe the feel important when they discredit you as a person. Many people make the world go round:) Rated: +1Vote for this!
unicorn59	Posted Jun 30th, 2009 at 5:31PM Probably because they are angry and hostile....unlike you, Hippiesamurai.... Rated: +1Vote for this!
wiseowl	Posted Jun 30th, 2009 at 5:33PM They just think they're entertaining. Flag any that are out of line. Maybe they want to use this spot like confessions. It gets nasty there.. well, don't accept it. Flag your fingers off and EP will msg them.I want this spot off limits to trolls, who have nothing to contribute. Rated: +1Vote for this!
thornyasarose	Posted Jun 30th, 2009 at 5:34PM There are people that respond in an angry hostile manner BECAUSE there are angry & hostile people. We can't let them drag us down tho. Look at it like this: could be worse, I could be one of them! That helps me to put things back into perspective. Oh, and don't get swept up in the "game" of trying to reason with these unreasonable people. Can't be done. Atleast not by a mere human. Rated: +1Vote for this!
