Why are Yahoo commenters so stupid?

[Valiere]

Seriously, I challenge you to find a more defiantly idiotic community on the internet. Besides us.

Every single Yahoo news article, regardless of content, will get a slew of responses that run the gamut of "Barack bin Obama is a Kenyan" to "This country is going straight to hell because we have TURNED OUR BACKS ON THE WORD OF GOD!!!" Only with way more spelling errors.

If said article -- god forbid -- contains a black person, expect an endless volley of comments so racist that they'd make Mel Gibson blush.

If a comment isn't offensive, it's just dull and ditzy. In response to an article on a child molester, someone posted "People who do that to children are perverted!" Ya don't say.

Is the Yahoo community supposed to [deeeep breath...] be representative of the country as a whole? Is the Tea Party movement forcing its members to sign up for Yahoo accounts? What's going on here?

4chan. There you go.

Also, many YouTube comments are similar to this. People on the Internet are the most infected by the HSS.

It'll help you sleep at night if you just pretend they're all trolling.

This article is a personal favorite of mine.

FACT!

• "Just as humans lived much longer (Genesis records ages of some people to have reached over 900 years!) so a reptile ... living much longer then could have grown much larger before the Flood - which is indeed what we see in the fossil record of the pre-Flood world. "

wh...what?

That is indeed ridiculous, Dren, but it would appear that's one guy and not a whole community.

[fruckert]

The Game Maker Community can be pretty retarded at times, but for completely different reasons.
Think concentrated "MAKE ME THIS NAO", and gratuitous ***-kissing...and then people trolling because OH MY GOD YOU CREDITED THIS GUY FOR MAKING THE OPEN-SOURCE BASE FOR YOUR OPEN-SOURCE ENGINE THAT'S NOT RIGHT YOU SHOULD CREDIT HIM (No, I'm not kidding)

There's a community base somewhere, I guarantee it. I know there's a museum somewhere in the south dedicated to creationism.

Most communities are pathetically poor. The internet, if nothing else, has shown me how low the bar is when it comes to expressing yourself with civility and tact. Hell, even as an enginneer, I get emails and notices with countless spelling and punctuation errors, and these are from the educated part of society!

I'm not perfect, but at least I put in the effort to try, darn it! u dont se me typing like thsi and aktualy its kind of hard and slwer to do so 4 me at this point

When it slowly dawned on me that 1/100 amateur games actually gets finished, and about 1/10 of those are worth playing, I stopped caring at all about credits. At least I'm consistant though - anyone can take anything I do without needing to credit it. I really don't care. Go have fun. If and when you actually release something with sprites of mine in it, no doubt my style and skills will have improved way past that point where it's useful to me anyway.

[fruckert]

I'm only using three different things that I personally didn't make in Kyoob, so at least credits are easy this time around.

[Valiere]

I try using only my stuff in RPG Maker games, and thats why I always fail. x)

Amen, brother.

I'm at this point too. Of course, I do make spelling mistakes, but most are due to me typing too fast and accidentally pressing nearby keys.

Well, I failed even when using other people's stuff... so it's not all that bad.

Also, I consider Charas a well educated and respectful community compared to most others.

Yes, I am inclined to agree.  Would you care for another cup of tea?
