Is Lord Percy Fawcette-Smythe a coward?

If Lord Percy (or anyone else) disagrees with someone's answer to a question (not asked by Lord Percy, but by a third party), and then proceeds to verbally chastise said answerer via e-mail, is it cowardly for him to remain hidden behind Y!A's "Does not allow e-mail" setting in order to avoid a rebuttal? To me, this seems rather one-sided and infantile. Does anyone else agree?

    This happened to me once with another user. I just thought that the person was a moron for sending me an abusive email because of an answer I gave. As in your case, I couldn't reply but to be honest, even if I could have, I wouldn't bother. Delete, block and move on. Some people aren't worth a moment's thought.

    I agree he (or she) is being a coward but to be honest, it takes no more than 2 seconds to hit the SPAM button above the email in Yahoo and then ignore further emails.

    What you could do is is refuse emails for a month and then allow them again. By this time they would have gone and found somebody else to annoy.

    Unless you report them to Yahoo for their emails you are going to have to live with their abuse.
