How do you delete someone's answer of your question?

Sometimes I'll find that someone reported me and deleted my answer, when it was a perfectly fine one. I would like to delete someone's answer who just resorted to name-calling. How?

Update:

I did not know it costs me points. If that is the case, then it is not worth it.

    Next to each answer there are three icons - a thumbs up, a thumbs down and a flag.

    If you click on the flag you will be taken to the 'report abuse form'. You can then select an option from the drop down list and enter any additional details.

    It would be helpful to Yahoo! if you put 'name calling' or something similar in the additional details box. 'Insulting other users' is a violation of the Community Guidelines, and this answer is likely to be deleted.

    Please remember to report responsibly.

    When you have an answer (or question) deleted for violating the Community Guidelines, you have the option to contest the violation here:

    You file an abuse report against it with the "Report Abuse" tag at the end of it

    If you do, it will cost you points and not help you except for your ego.
