Do you ignore people who ask dumb or weird questions on HP or answer them rudely?

I mostly flag any spam here but tend to ignore the dumb ones...
If a writer is rude enough to post an illiterate, gibberish question, a nonsense question, one that google can answer in 1/4 second, or one written in a language other than English, I include text speak et al, in that category, then he deserves a rude response.
I think that because HubPages is seen all over the world, to comment on one rudely, is well, just sort of rude. Do we think that much of ourselves as being English speaking, that we need to treat those who don't speak English as beneath us?

Trolls: Ignore them of Confront them?Since the advent of forums and content sites, trolls have infiltrated the system and tried to gum it up with their insipid responses. How do you deal with trolls? Do you ignore or confront them? Give reason for your response, please.

Why are men so mean to women?All the men I meet seem to have some sort of attitude problem. Are there anymore nice men out there or have the whole "too nice" theory killed any chance of ever finding a gentleman?
