Why is it that (some) people who answer questions on here...?

are aggresive with their answers, and are so uptight if you 'hit a nerve' which affects them personally. They also try to make the questioner out to be stupid when the know exactly what the questioner is getting at. Another thing, I ask questions which are of general interest and they are seldom to do with me personally.

Answers:
some people who are aggressive psychopaths in their life give answers to the questions in an aggressive way. it is their behaviour and there is no need to concentrate our attention of those sadists,hegemonic and aggressive psychopaths.better neglect those people.
Some people are jerks, thats all :o)

Ignore the jerks, because who cares what a jerk thinks?
they might have been in a bad mood or something must have affected them in their personal life to make them react like that.
Because in the Great Granola Cluster of Life, you're bound to meet several nuts and flakes...I've had a few of them myself, take a question of mine and try to respond as if I've a definite slant or am stupid. I suspect a few of them with "rating" power even stalk me to give any answer of mine a thumbs-down, but now I'm just sounding paranoid.

Must..adjust..tinfoil..hat!
I believe this is the psyche of todays citizens. It also leads to car rage, bad behaviour in pubs and elsewhere, and a general attitude of irresponsibility. "We're all doomed."
Wow, general interest ! I'm sure you're a real blast on a Saturday Night !?!!
Some questions are extremely stupid and obvious if you have taken even 3 years of k-12 education.
insecurity
some people are just stupid thats all.i mean they dont have manners how i wish i could see them and give them a BIG PUNCH!
I think the aggressive answerers- probably are type "A" personalities. -They're the people who charge through open doors & declare, "I know what I'm doing- & YOU don't." It's just the way they are.
I think the main moral to this 'game' is to try and help people with their problems, share your wisdom with others, or just ry to answers questions. It is not a matter of trying to make other angry.

I agree with you completely.
they have that feeling of inadequacy that can only be vented through anonymous backlashing and outbursts.just ignore them and understand that some of them just want extra points.LOL
and this question has nothing to do with you personally, then why are you so upset?
It takes all sorts and you meet them wherever you go - you just have to try and filter them out and not let their ignorance make you upset.
I'm with you!! Some people should just grow up. They keep trying to "UP" the last person who answered or tries to stand out. They think their funny. I think their fools.
some people do not have the capacity to understand others and their problems etc,. Unfortunately, there are some people that cannot be sensible or compassionate to other peoples feelings. My advice is to answer questions as best you can to help genuine people with problems so at least they have several helpful things to choose from - and you never know who is reading them. Jerks exist everywhere - just ignore them
I will buck the trend and admit to being one of the people who, quite possibly, comes across as a little aggressive in my answer sometimes. However, it is unlikely to be because the questioner has 'hit a nerve'. Often as not, the individuals posting questions do so to reinforce their own beliefs, (I do the same sometimes), yet fail to take into account that some people may not agree with them. Instead of utilizing an opportunity to learn something, perhaps even pertaining to the psychology of that individual, the questioner either ignores them or gets offended.
It's a shame really, because if people learned to loosen up a little, maybe this place could be even more fun.
You just can't choose the kind of people to answer, for example, your questions. Be glad instead that you get to see other people's attitude on here and be glad you're not one of them. Why should they bother you at all?This is open to everybody -- internationally. Expect the unexpected and just ignore the ones you think are stupid.
because some people are arseholes!!!
no matter what you ask here, you will get some abuse, the thing to do is to ignore it and go to the helpful accurate answers. IF the abuse you get to a question is really offensive or agressive, you could always report the answer
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ASKED THAT!!!@!

lol
You know what;its stupidity and childishness. I mean, if you are not interested or ready for a question, why make the questioner feel inferior or useless by passing a hurtiful comment?

Bruce!
I apologise.
I have answered one or two questions sarcastically and one I called dumb and uneducated.
Please believe me however that of all the hundreds of questions answered I did not judge a person, just answered their question.
There are some questions though that just cannot (however much I try) be left to stand unchallenged.
I believe anyone who answers a question asked just for information should do so politely and as well as they can, there are many areas of knowledge I know nothing about so I don't judge others who ask about things I know of.
If a question is asked sincerely and politely, then it should be answered the same way.
Questions which state opinion as fact in an insulting fashion should be just ignored, and I promise to try to work on this.
Some people who answer questions on here are aggressive with their answers and are so uptight when you hit a nerve which affects them personally because they're either jerks or in a bad mood or venting or who knows? As for making out the questioner to be stupid when they know exactly what the questioner is getting at - well, sometimes (and this isn't in reference to your question) a questioner can be incomplete or incoherent in the structure of the question. How do you know your questions are of general interest?

I read on a blog that there is a 'hidden game' on Answers.it seems that the point is to get answers removed by Yahoo. The more answers you have deleted the more points you get.

The only rules seem to be that you cant use obscenities or suggest something illegal.

Could this explain it?
smacks of an unresolved personal issue attempting to be covered up ?
