Has someone on yahoo been insulted by an answer you gave them and then proceeded to harass you?
And with more than one log in? Did you harass them back or move on and chalk it up to them being stupid?
Oh by the way the answer given was in no way derogatory.
I accept your challenge Zellparis, watch out I’m a little feisty when provoked. ;-)LOL

YES!!! And not stupid, just ignorant, and only want people to agree with their idea ONLY. So, they're not asking for help or opinion, just agreement. Thought that's what friends where for! Isn't this a forum for expressing ideas and opinions? So, they ask, and disagree with everyone who doesn't agree with them. Truth hurts, don't it?

I have not been harassed. However I have had an email or two back from someone who didn't like my comment and may have felt offended. At that point "a soft answer turns away wrath". I'll generally apologize for any part of my comment that might have been offensively worded.
In one case I questioned whether a certain questioner had the qualifications to say what he was saying. He sent me an email, giving his qualifications, and then we had an exchange of emails in which I learned quite a lot, was influenced to some extent, but didn't come to agree with his main premise.
We are always gainers if we take things in a friendly way.
If a questioner makes a comment that I consider to be outrageous I answer it right on this page. If an answerer makes a comment that seems ot be outrageous, on rare occasions I have emailed them to challenge their comment. I hope they don't feel that is harassment! They will sometimes respond, but I normally would not continue my emails unless I felt there was some dialogue.

Yes, absolutely I have been harassed by a user or two who didn't like what I answered. It's really sad - if you don't want unbiased opinions/suggestions/etc. why on earth would you even bother posting a question on here? I did respond only to ask them to discontinue sending their name-calling emails to me. Other than that, I just let them go.

specific, some has been insulted via my solutions. They made their factors open right here in yap. some emailed me and expressed their 'emotions'. (often disgusted) careworn via TD's? - i do no longer understand. taking over a similar element - no. Used different bills to annoy me - i do no longer understand. finally, circulate on.

Yes. I ignored them. They wanted me to react but I refused to play their little game.

Yes. And, with the ability to hide behind the keyboard, it gets old... fast. People need to grow up and understand it isn't always about them.

I haven't experienced that, but I would just chalk it up as them being stupid. If they keep bothering you, report em!

Yes, they actually emailed me a couple of times to tell me I was full of it... well, if you don't like the answers don't ask the question! :)
