Why do some people get hostile when they've asked a question but don't like the answer they wanted?

Why did they ask in the first place if they didn't want to hear differing points of view. Beats me. 馃

Great question! I sure don't get the hostility with some.

I think just about anything can be debated without getting personal.

@Peapod I don't mind debating at all, viva the difference, but when they resort to personal insults is when I give up. They obviously have nothing to back up their reasoning so resort to that. Futile.

@Zoranna, crazy how some interact here. I just shake my head when someone tries to put words in my mouth or make assumptions of what I do or do not believe in. 馃槣

@Peapod I know, they tend to do that. What does annoy me though is these young guys who think they're so hot (in their own mind I might add) that they think they can just say what they like. If you disagree with them you're an old shrivelled hag. That really made me laugh because he has no idea of who I am or what I look like. So superflous he shouldn't have bothered. Give him marks for trying to impress with his "intellect"? 馃
Nope, got nothing. lol

@Zoranna...I know the type. They give themselves away pretty quick and I stop interacting with them. I think some really do it for a laugh, making the assumption they are one up on you.

@Peapod Well I was polite and he kept biting. Who had the last laugh? 馃 It was certainly not him. Cheers, you have a nice day.

@Zoranna, good going. 馃槂

Have a wonderful day too.

@Peapod Thank you. I'm not proud of it, I feel sorry for him actually but he's not my problem. His problem is himself but he doesn't know that yet. Anyway, cheers to you Peapod. Great name by the way. 馃槈

@Zoranna, thank-you Zoranna. "Peapod" has been my handle for over a decade. It started with getting into a great discussion with someone and hearing, "we are like two peas in a pod." 馃槉馃槉

@Peapod How lovely, it's very special. 馃槉
