Why do some stoop so low?
I understand that the "block" feature on Y!A comes in handy with trolls on here, but why block someone for the sheer fact that they can prove you wrong? I don't think I have come close to the "troll" definition on here, and yet I have been blocked by some on here that choose to ask silly questions and won't allow me to go on and prove them wrong.
So why is it that so many choose to be so petty?
Thanks - I am rather surprised by the number of others that have this happening. And thanks for the one that thinks I'm normal.
I am also sure it happens on all sides of political arguments, but just for some facts, I tend to fall on the liberal side of things. But I don't think it is exclusive to those opposed to me. . .
Thanks for the great answers as well as kind words! Good to see there are some still civil on here - whether Republican, Democrat, Coservative or Liberal.

Some people do not like to be challenged with facts. I have been blocked numerous times as soon as I answer a question. Since I rarely intentionally insult anyone I just consider it a win. It means that they cannot handle real debate and have given up.

Lighten up... it's yahoo. I've been blocked countless times and it really has no impact on my life. It just lets me know that I've gotten to someone. In most cases, I'm blocked proactively by trolls who have created multiple accounts. They'll block me before I ever answer a question on one of their accounts. Sometimes it's the troll doing the blocking because they don't want you spoiling their fun. Keep that in mind. I wouldn't sweat it. Life goes on.

actual or not, the clicking are having a field day on the prompt in this issue. Judging by technique of the marvel horror being declaimed, the McCanns might want to must be mad to get enthusiastic about making a movie. i do not understand what the count number number is with this pair yet they have executed the incorrect issues accurate from the starting up. Their obvious pursuit of money and publicity has continuously overshadowed the disappearance of negative Madeleine. it truly is time that the circus left city.

It's immature and most people being republicans or democrats hate being wrong and therefore feel better about themselves knowing they have the ultimate power to block someone..
Comedic if you ask me.

I don't know, but I just looked back at some of your answers and I can't see why anybody would block your answers. You seem pretty normal to me.

Whatever you do, don't take it personally. Some people are just not equipped to see both sides of an issue. Some questions just really aren't worth the time to answer though.

It's because they know their arguments are not sound. Instead of dealing with reality, they choose to stay wrapped in the fantasy they have created for themselves.

SusiePolls loves to block anyone she can't beat. Same with Jimmy

It's Y/A...who gives if a **** about anyone on here? or their opinions? It's just a fun place to laugh at dumb folks and their ridiculous world views! Don't take anything on here personal.
