What would you do if, on Yahoo! Answers, you got into a debate with an unknown user. . .?

. . .and you're frustrated, using every curse word known to man, and would stop at nothing to make your point, only to find out that, after signing off, you debated with your parent or child?

To Death Cab For Lexi: Sometimes, debates happen when you least expect them. For example, if you took politics seriously, you're bound to get into a debate with some clown in the 'Politics' category that disagrees with you. Therefore, you're right; you probably wouldn't debate with anyone, but this is a hypothetical question, so by using your imagination, what would you do?

By the way, 'waaaat,' this never happened to me; I just thought of it when I was browsing this category. Oh yeah, to 'Jim,' you're right, Yahoo! Answers isn't the place for debating, but you're forgetting, this site has a private messaging system and there, anything goes.

    YA is not for debates, rants, insults, etc.

    It frustrates me that so many people use it for that. I guess some will never understand. Hope it does not go away, like forums did. Read the Rules.

    I would just forget it and then bring the topic up with them later but don't say it was yourself on the Yahoo Answers!

    Since this is a Q&A site, not a forum or debate site, I would not get into a debate.
