Question Posted Wednesday February 14 2007, 12:37 am
Why do some of you get on here just to be nasty and write rude things(when not attacked) that dont even have anything to do with the question... or purposely write wrong answers? no ones twisting your arm to hit the answer this button..if you dont know...then dont answer.Then you want to whine about getting a low rating and pust the abuse link..when you didnt help in the first place...This might sound rude but as another colunmist and a person who asks advice...I think that people who ask question should be able to report abuse to.

They're too caught up in their shenanigans to realize that the columnist asking the question might not be chuckling along with them. I do see the occassional (what I think to be ridiculous) question on here but I just take it for the laugh that it is and move on. It's a good practice of self-control. :)

On the left side of the screen, under "Miscellaneous" is an option "Report Abuse." That is where you get that business done. Be sure to have all of the information they need to take care of the problem- MOST IMPORTANTLY you need to copy and paste the link from you address bar that takes them to the question you are filing the report about. Tell them what is up, and they will get it taken care of. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

I can't answer why others are rude. I agree that passing a question up is the best thing to do if you don't like it.
