I agree. This is censorship.

because some people can just be harrassing.  I have allowed people to contact me but sometimes I regret it.  Most of the time, people just want to discuss and answer or question and though they disagree- the discussions are reasonable and respectful, but I have had some that just want to send an insulting and hate filled message regarding something I said.  I generally don't answer them back but I really don't appreciate getting them- I don't treat people like that.  Some people don't want to deal with this at all and I don't blame them, it is their right to privacy and to not be harrassed.

Keep giving them the same answer, which in your case, is NO.  They are trying to break you down into changing your mind by keeping asking you the same thing.\n\nIf you continue to say no and mean it, they should get the hint.  Oh and don't forget to add a little detail into it, like saying: I already told you NO and that is my final answer, I don't want to do that and I am NOT going to do it, my mind is not going to change!

I cant tell you why you want something

I try not to cross the line, but it is tempting to just say whatever you feel like saying sometimes.\n\nI think it's the illusion of anonymity.

These people need telling straight,or it just continues.I've had people like that in my life.Its annoying.I have said,I like your company but I have other commitments.I put it in a nice manner,but make sure they get the message.

They might be testing your limits and realizing that they can dominate you with their behavior and they are winning.\n\nInstead of telling them what to do (in which case they can say NO and just be stubborn) don't give them a chance to say no - give them options.\n\n"Ok, do you want to get into your pajamas or brush your teeth?"  Not "put on your pajamas" in which case they could say NO. They obviously don't care about time-out. Give them choices so they feel in charge of what happens to them next - instead of feeling like they need to lash out at you.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  They can say what they want, and so can you.  You are not the only person in this world, so you are not going to get what you want.  So quit b*tching about it.

The reason they do it is that they expect a strong reaction from you, even a denial, so they can have cheap fun. So, if you just say "So what?" to whoever brings it up, it would probably make them lose interest, and leave you alone. Be more careful in your choice of friends.

What utter nonsense. What you want is freedom to say whatever you want without consequences.  That's a very different thing.\nPeople using this kind of question to make political points against ANY administration are just silly, as some of your answers did.  They are willing to undermine our country's reputation for political "points".\nTruth is, we have free speech, and so do the people who respond to you, argue with you, disagree with you, and even insult you. If you are watching what you say, it's because you are too timid to say what you mean and stand by it.\nYou still have the freedom to do that, and that was all that was ever granted us in the first place.\nPeople also have a right to respond to your speech.\n\nYahoo! Answers and other groups that provide a forum for you to speak get to add their own rules.  Just because you use the forum does not mean you get the right to dictate what the rules of that forum are.  They have the right, as owners of the site, to determine that.  If they wanted to limit it to people who can talk only about pink dyed poodles without the participants using the letter "p", they could (not much of a market in that), and have the right to do so.\n\nSomeone loans you a soapbox, but they get to decide whether you use it, or get to take it away if you don't follow their rules.\n\nHOWEVER, you are free to start your own website, your own newsletter, your own T.V. station, your own radio station, and you get to make the rules.\n\nIF you did, would you want people coming with insults about you and your views, or spewing filth to insist that you had to spend your money so they could "speak freely"?\n\nWhat nonsense.  You have no right to ask that.
