Although I post questions and answers in politics I don't live to do just this. I post as much in Arts, Religion, Science, etc.
However, there are some regulars in Yahoo Politics who tag along after me, who follow me into other forums, from Books & Authors to Religion, to post personal insults.
I suppose, with people like John Skerry who do this, it's because I don't support their political views. Stalking should be reported, shouldn't it? But on the other hand I am a little flattered that they're that concerned about me telling my version of the truth that they feel they need to stalk me.
Any of you have your own little Yahoo stalkers?

Example:
Greg, look at my answers. Look at a question I posted in Books & Authors yesterday about Latin, then look at John Skerry's reply there.

Interesting, Doc. I never thought of it as flattering before. I have had my share, which I felt was strange, like am I really so offensive to them that they need to stalk me? I've reported each one more than once sometimes simply because this is the Internet and you never know what kind of weirdos are on this thing. But maybe I can now see it as flattering and enjoy it more. Thanks!

When I log into YahooAnswers, I check out some of my favorite posters. Sometimes to see what points of wisdom they might have, sometimes to see what BS they might be dishing out and sometimes to get into an intelligent discusion with someone I often disagree with.
Is that stalking? Or does that make me a groupie?
Following someone around to hurl insults is way out of line, though. And you don't deserve it. I often don't agree with your positions but you are not like the rabid extremists. I do think you get too much of your info from the extremists, though. So while I think you are moderately liberal, you sometimes come across as a rabid liberal.

I know some people do. I had that problem for a little while . These type of people only show how really immature they are When they get reported enough they are gone

Yes, I had a little girl who thought I didn't like her avatar post nasty things on my questions, and my 360. I reported her, and ignored her. I checked her profile here on Answers, and apparently she was suspended. After she started posting on my 360, I checked hers out, and she was 14, and in middle school.

LMAO.. The Yahoo Profile Police whines yet again.
Why do you stalk me, Doctor Twatson?
I have an idea. Why don't you liberals form a little report-abuse hippy squad. That will cover up the facts that refute your tripe.
Look at Doctor Twatson's mainstream questions/answers:
Notice this "mainstream" person directs his hatred for the right while posing.

I notice when asked about Democrats, he doesn't include Bill Clinton. Why not, Doctor?

I had 2 little stalkers before but they grew bored after pestering me for a while. Once they realized I liked it they thought I was crazier than them.

Sometimes people pick appropriate yahoo id's. Either that or they start to live them, a skerry thought.

Nope. Are you sure you're not feeling a little too self-important here. People chasing you around Yahoo! Answers? Do they wear trenchcoats and stand under streetlamps at night? Get real.
