I replied to a question in a sarcastic manner, like a lot of people do, but now I have a stalker guy who wants to argue with me in every one of my questions.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him reply to this question...  I thought this was a place where you can speak your mind!!!

Some people want to ask you "your opinion" on many things in life.  Then when you offer it, they want to argue with you about your opinion.  What they really wanted wasn't your opinion, but rather for you to agree with them on their opinion.\n\nI have told a person more than once who wanted to argue with me about an opinion, "Hey, you asked me my opinion and I gave it to you.  I'm comfortable with you not agreeing with me.  Why can't you be comfortable with me not agreeing with you?"

I like Yahoo Answers and you made me smile with your comments.\n\nPeople can get trapped in answering a question. They can wander...get off Topic...all of that.\n\nThis question is all about you:)  You want your questions answered fully...and I agree with that.\n\nHowever, many times the answer to the question is all about you or me.\n\nSmiles again. I hope that I was focused in my answer to you.\n\nChow. :)

Hi, there are some real abusive and inconsiderate people on this site, but then there are plenty (like me) that never say anything mean or try to hurt someones feelings, and call them idiots or stupid.  Try is for awhile it will be fun.  Good Luck, I hope you stay and play.

Yes. To both. I try to give good advise to valid questions. Some of the questions are amusing and I respond with humor. Some of these questions are asked just to pick a fight, and I'm not opposed to a little skirmish once in a while. What about you?

I think for the most part, some of the idiotic answers are from those seeking to get points OR to wallow in the freedom of expression that this forum offers (to a point, that is).  Some people do not even really read the question and cannot discern whether it is hypothetical or not.  I think you will find that many are just filled with sarcasm because in this venue, there is a good chance no one will babble back.  It isn't interactive - it just lets you post - so no immediate retort directly.\n\nThe good thing is that this is a small percentage and hopefully it will not grow - after a time, even idiots get bored of themselves.

I didn't see it on the guidelines anywhere. We could gang up on someone and see if they get theres removed. LOL. I just wish people would keep their minds more open and not take the questions (or answers) so seriously. I laugh my ass off reading some of the answers and wish I had responded that way. Would give me a vote for the good....

people can't handle opinions, it is amazing that I actually get an answer to stay up anymore.  If it isn't yahoo, it is someone asking an opinion based question, and if they don't agree with me, i get abuse reported.  people need to cowboy up here!

Hate him or like him. \nHe wont mind what you say about him.\nThis person can, and has made some good points. He has unfortunately made rather more bad points. \nNot every one will agree with him all the time, In fact out of the 60 or so questions he has posted. I personally have disagreed with most of them. \nBut the one i found most Distasteful. Is the one, he asks if the Insurgents can hear him. \nBut then if Yahoo/Answers allow him to post these questions without any kind of penalty then in my opinion Y/A are not as Impartial as they should be. \nI have seen far less distasteful questions being removed, for far less violations. \nThe abuse button only seems to work for some, and not for others.

Yes, there a few gems stashed in amongst the rubbish on this forum.  It takes researching the profiles of people who give intelligent answers.  People who give good answers usually ask great questions.  Sometimes we have to put up with a lot of irritating nonsense to get through to the good stuff.  I suggest keep a list of people who ask good questions/give good answers and go to their profiles to answer theirs.  Who cares about points.  Let the others wear each other out.

Well...I am one of those people that can and will criticize a person or the question they ask. Also too, I can answer a question intelligently as well. I use to think that there was no dumb questions, except for the one not asked, but after seeing some of the questions on here I do have to take that back. I have seen a lot of very good questions on here though with very good answers...but on the same token I have seen bad questions that someone shouldn't answer it with a good answer. Then there are the plain down out right jerks that would criticize anything that comes along. You can look at my profile to see what answers I gave to some of the questions...and maybe you'll laugh at them too...one of the questions a person asked was about joining the kkk or a Nazi group...you'll have to read the answer for yourself. I know that there are cruel people out there...and you have to decide what is good and what is not...take what will be helpful and let the rest go ;).

I hope you reported him.I get hate mail all the time.You should see the one's I got from my stalker(no class).I don't let it bother me.But in your case,that was unaccpeptable.

Justin you are right. I think that any forum that doesn't screen its members is destined to become a useless cesspool of idiocy and personal attacks. Yahoo answers never was and never will be a forum for obtaining useful information or exchanging ideas. Instead it is a playground for chuckle heads.\n\nNow having said that, I must admit that I am guilty of contributing to the degradation of this forum. You are welcome to play if you want, just don't expect any enlightenment here.\n\nPeace, bro.

you could not have said it better and the attention getter was great. (lol) i would love to see the faces crack from the people who clicked your question to agree on the hatred.....funny and hell no we are not running out of room so let them in!!!!!!

Well I am bound to get hate mail for this...but here goes. ...i have had violations for the most innocent questions..and i have replied to Y!A..got the standard automated reply that they're looking into it....well after 6 months, I figure it's a lie, especially since they have found the time to take breathers, update to a more awful wesite, push the awful blog thing, which by the way is a form of subliminal seduction of devulging our privacy willingly...that we should find things like myspace and blogging perfectly natural...giving up our privacy ..our dossiers...things that we would never ever say to anoher, that only  an FBI or CIA agent would be privy to...after Rorscachk Analysis....natural....oh yeaeh...revealing that much is like cutting the nipples out of your shirt and walking around wondering why people are staring at your chest......now, I have NOT recieved a response regarding my questions tht someone had a hardon for and had removed..some right wing arse whom got a hair in the "RIGHT" place and decided that i was to be the sacrificial lamb d'jour. There are ways to figure out who these people are. \nBTW BEFORE you accept to be on the gallery wall of a blog and you are a woman...and I happen to be one, check out the patterns of people...there are men who have nothing but "beat off" shots of women, as they seem to collect them...peruse the different categories and see what the different latitudes are for tolerance....you will find it different in EACH category.....the religous "Do as god says" people will damn you quicker than they will pray for you, the demon lovers will flag you easily, the depressed and lovelorn will give you  a thumbs down, the ones who suck up and tell you what they THINK you want to hear, yes I do check, and I HAVE studied profiling for over 10 years so THIS is a side dish ....not the best, nonetheless and allthemore only a side dish and not the best at that....I actually preferred the red jello in rehab in the early 90's..... Customer service if you sense a seasoned woman is most likely a woman who has no sex, has cats, doesn't date, watches the same shows , has a ritual of television including the Lifetime Channel..... and is a spitout leftover from a gone wrong marriage probably missing the glitz of her double wide on cinderblocks. Next time you call her ask her how Pat and Vanna are doing, she might just warm up at yahoo.....probably a lily tomlin Look alilke...acutally I am hypotheticalizing, but it is fun.......so no one can sue me, only flag me.\nI am sorry for your loss of time....as time is currency and yahoo doesnt care as they tout the likes allegedly of deepak Choprah, Dr, Phil, Oprah, and honey the list goes on and one....yahoo is only yahoo...there ARE more interesting formats, i just managed to get a bit hooked in here and keep tellingmyself I will leave when I hit a certain amount of points...I am at level 6....8,000 something fromm level 7..and when I reach it if I havent made a friend, i think I will call it quits and just slip away into the abyss of something that cannot be aired in a public format. i wish you well, hell I wish me well too..and you are right.....\nI will be awaiting your word as to what happens...no, they do not care, and the last time i told them to keep their damn auto response to themselves and unbelievably they did it.\nhey...who knew?\nWell..we will find out now won't welll...glad I saw your question, full of passion and fire....and a great reality check for those in the YAHOO COMA!!!!\nWAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!\nThanks...\nLioncourt.....\nP.S. I too am a Virgo...does it show?

You can still place your comments under the chosen "Best Answer" of the question of WilliamTC1.\n\nAlternatively you can ask a similar question here.\n\nOr you can join a popular Blog site and vent your feelings and Im sure you will get a good audience and support.\n\nAll the best in your fight...\n\n.:Fishie:.

I'd just like everyone to know that I have battered down nicolasraage very easily. He is yapping about how liberals can't tink for themselves. \n\nI got fed up with his schoolyard tactics, in a message pointing out that he was, like a kindergartener, making up stories about others so they wouldn't tease him about what he is doing (Lying!!). \n\nHe replied asking me what I hate about Ann Coulter. \n\nI replied saying how well he changed the subject but humored him with a few solid reasons Ann is a *****. \n\nHe replied, and said that if he didn't answer the question, then my question was worded poorly. I had at no point asked a question. \n\nI told him this in an email and he responded yelling "what the he** are you talking about", which was absolutely inapplicable in the situation.\n\nIf you are looking for a good laugh, I recommend trying this. It is great fun.
