How did you all handle the shock...?

...of your first violation report. Were you righteously indignant? Did your stomach drop when you saw the email headline. Did you write a rebuttal?

I just had my first, and of course it was completely frivilous and unwarranted. To anyone I harrassed in the past for being upset at a violation...I apologize. I didn't know.

    Actually, since I have been getting a few here and there, but someone NOT getting the emails, I was kind of thrilled when I finally saw one of the emails in my TRASH folder (I'd set up a filter that caught them and didn't realize it!). Weird, I know!

    If you feel you have been improperly "violated", post your concerns to this forum:

    http://messages.answers.yahoo.com/answers/forumvie...

    where they are attempting to post a response within 24 hours and to send such things for reconsideration. Points HAVE been returned, as reported on here:

    I got one a couple of months ago. I could not believe I got it and for the reason. If it had been for an answer that someone really disagreed with it would have been different. I just said the asker must not have a life to ask the questions he ask and then I but lol. I got a violation I did tell the asker I was sorry I did not mean anything by it and he said no problem and he did not take offense said it had to be someone else to report me. He thought it was funny! So where does someone else get off reporting for something that should not be reported and yahoo for letting it happen!!!! Sorry about yours!!!!

    I got one a couple of months ago that was completely unwarranted(personally I think they just didn't like what I had to say, Just being honest with them). I think that some people just get kicks out of reporting people for no reason. Don't give it a second thought.

    Not upset, just angry. Not worth the energy expended.

    I had my first a couple of days ago. And I thought it was funny. It was so obviously frivilous.

    Oh - well - whatever.
