Why do people on answerscom give bad answers that are just a rude remark and don't answer your question?

Answer 1

There are a great many people around the world that provide excellent answers to some very difficult questions. Sadly, there is a minority who take pride in providing offensive or inappropriate answers. Supervisors working voluntarily for Answers.com take enormous steps to combat the latter type of answers.

Sometimes it is only the perception of rudeness. Humans, when they engage in one of the three forms of communication, do it in a variety of different ways. Verbal communication that happens face-to-face occurs on two levels, visual and auditory, having the advantage of body language and tone of voice that the receiver automatically reads. Verbal-only communication, such as occurs on the telephone, must rely only on tone of voice, but still has an added advantage over the third form of communication. The third form of communication is written. The writer is communicating totally through a series of characters that represent ideas and can be expressed as sounds. The tone of the writing can easily be misconstrued based on "where" the reader is. That is the mood and emotional presence of the reader typically overshadows what is actually written. If rudeness is perceived, unless the writer has included demonstrative language, it comes entirely from the reader.

Answer 2

There are many different reasons as to why people make rude answers.

• Some people do it because they are bored and have nothing else to but cause trouble.
• Some people do it because they just want to cause trouble.
• And some people do it because they think it is funny.

Answer 3

Various reasons. Rude remarks are often trolling or bullying behavior, or a twisted sense of humor. Not answering questions as they are asked without giving commentary and without moralizing is mainly because of self-rigtheousness, bias, or the desire to promote an agenda. For instance, if someone is asking about the best brand of cigarettes, that is what they want to hear about, not that they should quit smoking (and yes, they probably should - thus making me guilty of this sort of thing too). Sometimes, it is the supervisors here who do this. I've seen several answers where they would give totally unrelated answers while harping on something. That is not to put them down. They work hard and make this place what it is. They are just human like the rest of us. We all have our biases, dislikes, and pet peeves.
