Ignore, fight, humour or report homophobic abuse on Yahoo! Answers? What's your style in dealing with bigots?

Answer 1

I ignore their anger, fight their ignorance, offer humour against their saddening continued existence and report their abuse.

In this way I, show myself to be unaffected by their spouting, (might) get a laugh from other respondents, get two valueless points and (hopefully) the question removed.

Answer 2

No, yet they ought to provide the guy being stated the reason that they are being stated, and provides you them a danger to regulate their answer in the adventure that they favor to attain this in the previous completely deleting it. this can sparkling up more than a number of bewilderment (if the excuses for the elimination of postings are valid). those who're uncertain on the theory will be knowledgeable. Abusive cloth that particularly desires to be restricted will be taken out in a more desirable honest way - a minimum of the guy who wrote it is going to recognize the actuality. And in the adventure that they don't consider the reason they could then discuss it on the communicate board and get the opinion of others. no matter if it really is by technique of presidential order (or from politicians) - why no longer state so. If political skill communities may have an answer or question bumped off why shouldn't they be spoke of as doing so? If Yahoo particularly is attempting to be a severe communicate board and not in any respect a stooge of the "Powers that be" and practise censorship to curry pick with the sensible, why no longer save this out in the open.

Answer 3

To be honest, I have usually been ignoring the questions from the people who are obvious trolls, and I try to not answer the questions. Although I guess that sometimes I answer just for the points before reporting. But usually I tend to ignore them.

For a couple of them who I think actually look at what was said and try to respond, I tend to give an answer that is honest on what I feel. Although they are posting homophobic questions, I have gotten into some e-mail discussions with them to discuss opinions, although we have always agreed to disagree.

Answer 4

I am a fighter when I see an injustice. I try to impart truth - not to convince them since they are a lost cause - but hopefully someone will read what I post and I may change one person. That is why I don't ignore it. I then report them to Yahoo. Sometimes I use their stupid questions and make a retort so people might see how really stupid they are.

Answer 5

It depends on the content and context of the questions or statements posed. I will brutally attack if warranted but at times I will merely report and not answer the question. I am finding the reporting a tad inane and frankly, if I stop acknowledging the fools I suspect they will get bored. It's akin to a bully, once you stand your ground, they get bored because they realize your not 'fun' for them anymore.

Answer 6

I’ve heard all their crap before, so it doesn’t upset me personally. The only thing that does upset me is when they say sexual things (like horny man did). This site is used by a lot of kids, so they should respect that even if they don’t respect gays. What castle h said was true, it also depends on the mood I’m in.

Answer 7

I'll have to agree with Your Gay Lord, I do them all, but especially fighting! But I figured, what the heck! I'll just ignore them, I love me the way I am, and very happy that I like other men :-)

Answer 8

Like castle, it depends on my mood. And how offensive they are vs. how stupid and childish they are.

Answer 9

It all depends upon the mood I am in.

Answer 10
