Being part of relatively less wise community, I want to make a humble request. Though most of the comments given by members of this forum are great, but recently I saw some comments in the past threads where a newbie (in terms of posts) felt like sharing a real life problem, regarding which we don’t have any idea, the intensity of the grief that the person is going through. Few people give sarcastic comments (mostly one liners) giving an impression that he himself has achieved the ultimate level of wisdom and there is no level beyond that. Your and my IDEAL had the divine knowledge yet he used to politely answer and with wisdom explain even the most illogical and senseless questions, instead of giving sarcastic comments. For example “Oh…I can’t believe that I have to explain all this to you”. “Why don’t you use your mind ?” “Your query is pointless, and makes no sense whatsoever”. “What was that. You seemed to…”…etc.
Comments like these might hurt the feelings of sensitive and serious people going through tough times in real life. I don’t think I have to mention the code words that are used in reply and not censored, like wtf…etc.
Thanks for your consideration.

p.s. And I warmly welcome those few people, if they want to give similar comments for even this topic, because that would prove my point.
I agree with you 1000%...every thread should be taken seriously and given consideration.
However, like thread starters come from all walks of life...so do posters. Not every single post is to be taken seriously or will be of your opinion. When you post in a public forum, you take that risk...of getting responses you may not like. Not saying its okay but just to be prepared.

Bit judgemental aren't you for someone so 'humble'?

But dont you think the sarcastic comments in themselves tell a lot about your problem? For example, if most of the people in response to your thread are replying "Why don't you use your mind?" doesnt it tell you that maybe your problem is trivial and you are just making too big a deal out of the situation?
Too much of cute language would kill the instincts of this forum.
I think that sometimes it's very obvious that the thread was created with the intention of trolling. And in situations like that, (when you know that the OP is just fooling around), it's not a big deal to respond in like.
I do, however, agree that if you're going to respond to a thread...to show some consideration for the OP's problem (it may be a huge deal for them) and if you're not serious about it...then simply don't respond. Or, if you don't agree with the OP's sentiments about an issue, then refute them in a tactful way because insults can sometimes reduce your validity.
When I started on this forum about 2 months back, I got an impression that this forum has lower standards when it comes to dealing with personal insults and harsh opinions.
It was worse to see users with ‘moderator’ labels indulging in such behavior.
I was annoyed to a point that whenever I saw the red colored moderator label, I was like a bull seeing red
But after spending some time here, I realized most people here are bored and want some fun and no comments should be taken seriously.
