What do you think of this response to "Rogue," a "community member"?

Question

Let me start by saying that Rogue is somewhat of a coward, IMV. He asked a question about wanting unselfish reasons for having children. I answered the question, and then added that IMO having selfish motives didn't always mean that something was bad. I was very pleasant to him and even prefaced it with, "I'm not trying to bait or inflame you, I'm serious about this question." Which was something like, "why is it always assumed that a selfish thing is a bad thing." I then went on to add that having children actually required comple

He added to his question a really condescending version of, "that's not the point." So, I added back into my answer that he had conveniently ignored my point that parenting was actually the antithesis of "selfish." He then removed his question apparently.

So he emailed me: Message: You're pretty snotty. How old are you, maybe sixteen? And you have kids? I feel sorry for them.

Now stop playing on the computer and go pay attention to your brats.

I replied to the email with the following:

ROFL!

Let's see, I replied civilly and reasonably to you, you were snide with me, so I laughed it off - and laughed at you a bit - so you sit down, pout, open your e-mail up and send me this - but *I'm* the immature one with too much time on my hands?

Oh, thank you so much for the giggle! It really made my day!

Take care now!

*signing off giggling*

So when I reply to him, what do I find? Rogue doesn't allow incoming mail ROFL!

OK, you made it this far - what kind of coward sends out anonymous little e-mails because their ego is bruised and then doesn't even let someone respond to them? *snicker*

(Hint - I call them toads ;)

Hey, "Love"? Sorry for your learning disability - I'm making fun of the idiot, not crying about him.

And denial ain't just a river in Egypt, tootsie ;) If you think you're 'above it all,' consider what prompted you to even answer a question you find so lame, rather than just rolling your eyes and movin' on LOL!

Answer 1

I hear ya on that 1 , I got a response like that a while back , only mine was threatening , some people just don't like the answers they get , I'm thinking it's because it hits too close to home . You did the right thing , you're laughing it off :)

Answer 2

humorous you could point out this... For the 1st time ever, the former day, 2 of my bumped off questions and solutions have been reposted because of the fact the violation became appealed and that i gained... Did Yahoo hire somebody with a soul????

Answer 3

you are as lame as this person you are crying about.

Grow up!!!!!!!

I do not allow anyone to IM or email me because this is an answering site not a chatting site. If I really wanted to debate and bicker I'd be in a chat room.

Answer 4

I understand what you mean, if people are upset enough to email a nasty email, they should at least give you an opportunity to respond in kind!

Answer 5

Well first of all, your dialogue is way too long for me to want to read. But if it is bothering you, you should seek counseling. Best to you...

Answer 6

grow up.
