This used to be a cool site for GLBT to ask real questions of other GLBT, but now is being trashed and GLBT are not only letting it happen but adding fuel to the fire by answering back to those who are trashing the site.
When will my fellow GLBT's grow up and just ignore these people or do like to play their "little" games too?

Did you folks know that you can also send reports to the FCC if yahoo doesn't respond as they should? What with some of the language being used that org. can do even more.

FCC toll free: 1-888-225-5322

If the question is at least funny, I might comment. I figure, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at!
Reporting people doesn't work. First of all, I hate censoring or silencing anyone, even if they are complete idiots. Reporting also shows the offender that their questions are getting under someones skin, and will encourage them to continue.
BTW, I'm not a GBL or T, but have lots of friends who are. Maybe if I was, my answer would be different.

Thanks--just a few hours ago I brought this subject up at this question:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoDWySpuWgYxMJIqllX2M6fzy6IX?qid=20061016030324AAbjxHT
I am not sure the FCC can do anything about it--and even if they could that they would.
This is something that Yahoo should do as a responsible corporation. It is also in their best interest to satisfy the users. They are driving people a way. The problem is the forum is so full of garbage that people don't want to come here. Which is of course what the hate mongers want.
I have suggested it would be easy to solve. Yahoo just have one person monitoring it 24/7 and immediately deleting garbage. That would be a small cost to them. And would reap enormous benefits.
It is really something GLBT activitsts and organizations should take up--instead of concentrating all their energy on trying to become "equal" and get membership and "respectability" in the patriarchial institution of marriage.

dragon,
That's two of us. I find that there is a lot of sickness that shows up here. I think that some of them are LGBT, in fact, I would believe that most if not all of them are LGBT. They are just not well.
Just think about it.
But you have a way to converse without them, it's just getting people there. You know those boards like proboards.com? They will let you have a board there and you can decide who to let in and who not to let in.
The fact that there are so many crazies here proves that this site has certain weaknesses. Another board with frequent visits by only desireable friends sounds best to me.
Come to think of it, I belong to a group that has a Yahoo address! So you can start a group on Yahoo!

I have to agree. I have no idea why anyone responds to those people. You are giving them the attention they are not getting from mom and dad and simply feeding their kink.
They are getting off on this stuff and you out there that respond to them are helping them.
Its like a child who throws a tantrum. If you react to it, all they learn is that they can hold your attention by throwing a tantrum. If NO ONE responds to them, where is their audience? Maybe they'll go back to their homework or Barbie Dreamhouses.

I understand what you are saying...I don't like playing the games! I answer them sometimes and tell them to go away...or I just ignore them! They are ignorant! All we can do is report them!!

I answer the religious ones because they give true Christians a bad name and as a Christian I have to defend my God and my faith.
The rest I just ignore.

I have posted this question a few days ago....Just ignore their rantings and maybe they will go away, or maybe just maybe they will lurk here and learn something without asking more insane questions........I haven't responded to them in awhile.....

It just DMC sometimes, but in another sense. Why don't they MTOB. But we could just SIC, so maybe we are to blame.
