    I don't recall seeing your question but we are all being victims of mindless trolls. This is not new but has been going on for some time. One man who joined us several weeks ago and contributed quite a lot in a short time had virtually everything he submitted deleted within minutes. It just looked as if someone was waiting to see his name appear and then .... ZAP.... it was gone. I think he's given up on Y.A as being a lost cause.

    I don't think that trolls need a reason. They are just totally mindless and someone without a working mind cannot do anything sensible, good or nice. Such people get their comeuppance eventually I believe.

    It might be a lesson on intolerance or paranoia. June - I have refrained from posting and visiting SC for awhile. The most vocal here have had their say in this small room of visitors. I did not see your Q yesterday... Merry Christmas to you & yours....CO

    June, there is no rationale. The angry small minded people doing this are just being petty and targeting everyone. Most of us have been on their hit lists at one time or another.

    The only rationale some people need for reporting a question is just because they can.

    It is impossible to get into the mind of such a person but one thing is for sure, that person's mind is far from normal.

    They don't want us here. Everything I ask or answer get me a bums rush out the door!

    Maybe it's because it did not ask specifically about any one thing.

    I found their decision surprising.
