Is it good to be kind to people who are rascals?

You got his goat good. lol Getting your question deleted so quickly is a good sign of that.

Hi Poppy, Being kind is always right. However, some times when you are kind to rascals it just encourages them to be more of a rascal. Ignoring them after a while is better. I'm sorry you have a troll after you. Some people just never grow up but that is not your problem or mine.

NO. It is impossible for these rascals to understand kindness... either report them with whatever evidence you can either copy & paste. links, emails, Both the link to the Q & their Profile(s). I know it is a lot of work but that seems to be the only way if the YA team receives several different reports then they will act.... Also check category... Yahoo Products > Yahoo Answers.

Still working on this problem--email you when/if I get any results

And yes to the question---kindness can go a long way

Hard to figure out sometimes. Yes, treat others as you'd like to be treated. But don't be a doormat either. Or let ppl use you. It's a thin line.

It rarely renders anything good. Some people -trolls included, are not to be understood by mere mortals.

I have emailed anyone who wants to know - who he is. It is one person doing this in many different accounts, some are female, also.

I have his name, age, marital status, address, employment, nationality and sexual preferences. He has even posted pictures on Facebook.

My emial is always open.

Copy and paste anything offensive to anyone on here. Tho my faith in Yahoo is up for grabs.

Yes, it is always good to be kind, but sometimes someone just won't quit pushing buttons until tempers flare. I know more than one like that.

Rascals, yes. Aholes, no. And it sounds like this person is the later of the two.

.

You'll have to start reporting him through yahoo,stating the numerous accounts,inflammatory questions and harassment. You could also throw in the emails he sends. These people should have their complete yahoo account withdrawn

Beats me, Poppy, but i find it dismaying !

Yes, hurry - it's on line !
