I received a very rude email via yahoo answers from another user; how do I report this, please?

Here is the email contents: From: Lil_Drummer_Boy777

Subject: Question

Message: "What was the question? And did you check the guidelines for the site before asking it?"

Is it a strain for you to be a douchebag, or does it come naturally? You apparently need to look at the guidelines yourself, because nowhere does it say that condescending remarks are warranted.

    Yeah, this guy Jake made several racist and insulting remarks to a question the other day; he's clearly got real problems. You should definitely report this to the organisers; people have every right to use this site without then receiving offensive emails, especially if there's racist content! Only someone with very low intelligence would behave like this; judging by other remarks of his that I've seen, he's clearly a total moron.

    There really is no rule against any content inside emails. If you can't handle nutballs, this is not the place for you. I preferred the old email system, where they showed you in the subject line who the email was from. I would go back and read their answer, and if their answer was offensive, the message was easy enough to delete. You should have read it, hit delete and moved on with your life; no fuss, no drama.

    While I can understand your ire, try to let it go.

    I'm sure the Yahoo people have their hands full dealing with far more serious infractions than what you've incurred (stuff like threats, attempts to conspire to commit crimes, blatant racism, etc).

    Ignore and be on your way or just speak frankly to that person and get it done with.

    Wow, you really ARE a douchebag. You don't have the guts to confront me about it personally, so you have to post a question behind my back. Grow up.
