Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Dear R&S, What do you think of users who engage in such nefarious activities as these?

Establishing an account purely for the purpose of trolling other users and then deleting it; only to start again, not even bothering to change their modus operandi, style of writing, target audience or anything; and then blocking users who refuse to play the obvious troll's obvious game.

Do you guys think it's as pathetic as I do? I'm just here to answer questions about religion because it's interesting, and instead I find some bored dullard who pretends not to care, but goes to the effort of deleting accounts and starting new ones just to insult strangers on the Internet.

    Oh, you mean Barcock?

    It would be nefarious if he actually had anything better to do, but this is probably the peak of his achievements in life (apart from the nonexistent doctorate in whatever he claims to have).

    The small people need their entertainment, and I guess this is his.

    Some trolls are "nefarious" .. others are funny .. some are almost brain-dead.

    I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if I were you. You don't need to take the bait.

    It's Yahoo that makes the rules here. But I think they were mostly thinking of a place where one person can ask questions and others could answer them, is was not designed to support ongoing debates.

    It is annoying, no doubt, but the best thing to do is not answer their questions. If they stop getting answers, maybe they will get bored and move on.

    They don't believe in God and I don't believe in trolls. Yet here they are.

    Those are very insecure people, trying to validate that which is obviously not valid.

    Their purpose is not to convince but to bother.

    They are religious, taking their MO from their preachers who do the same thing to live audiences, deception and threats being their mainstay to support their unsupportable position.

    But but but these unbelievers won't believe the same as I do! That gives me the right to point out their dogmatic, fundamentalist logical fallacies over and over and over and over at the expense of this forum!

    It's all THEIR fault !
