My wife gets on here alot. She is a talker in real life, and tends to go on and on when she gets to typing about something on here. She has probably given way more details about stuff than I would have. Anyways, she has had a hard time dealing with my kids. I know that she has asked questions about them on here, hoping another stepmom in the same situation would give her advice. This one man has always made nasty comments to her on any question she asks. He has put her insulted her and said some pretty hateful things to her in the past. He seems to always know what she is doing on here, either asking a question or answering one, as he comes back with a nasty one directed at her. She says he has her on his watch list, and thats how he tracks her activity. She sent him an IM after his last nasty comment, basically telling him to leave her alone and stop answering her questions. He sent her one back cusing at her and called her every name in the book. Is that harrassment?

I think she said that since his answers are just considered his own opinon, they can't really be considered abuse. I cedrtainly feel that his IM that he sent to her was abuse since he called her everything from a bitc- to trailer park trash to a bad mother who doesn't care anything about her kids. That really stuck a bad nerve with me, cause that is one thing I know about my wife is that she is a dang good mother. She just has a hard time dealing with my kids, which is a problem I have alot of times as well. She said she clicked on the ignore button on her IM but does that mean she wont get anymore IM's from him?

I've never had any problems on here at all with anyone like that. Sure, I've had the hateful idiots who say bad stuff on my answers, but as for it going any farther then that, I've never had it happen. They can say whatever they want on here though, that's the only downfall. I would just report abuse about this person to answers and maybe someone will do something for you guys.

When he answers her questions, all she has to do is click "flag". Then send an abuse report. They will determine what to do next.
I have been sort of stalked on here. Some people didn't like the answer I gave them, so they then would answer every question I asked. Thumbs down every answer I gave. One of them even stalked my myspace page and sent me messages over myspace calling me all these random names under the sun. It came to a point where I just switched accounts.
And I believe if she clicks "ignore" on the IM, the person will be blocked. I haven't used yahoo messenger in years, but I think that's what it does.

Have her block so that she can't recieve emails or im's. As far as him watching and answering her questions, there isn't a whole lot that can be done, the is a community website and he has freedom of speech, and it is merely an opinion, that she needs to ignore. Simply give him the "thumbs down" and don't look at his answers anymore. If he is rude, cursing or stuff report him, otherwise---ignore him. That is the best thing to do! Good Luck!

Report him as an abuser to the Yahoo Answer people. At the bottom of every one of his comments to her there is a blue link that say "report abuse". Click on it and fill in the information.

have you tried going to his profile, and find a question of his and hit abuse and write to yahoo.answers and complain, i am so sorry for your wife, i love this site so i know how she feels, it is so sad some one wrecking it for her, i answered a question yesterday and got hate mail, because i was honest, telling me i have no right to be giving advise, which i just share experiences, they said they feel sorry for my kids and i am a terrible mom etc... it was a young mother who is insecure and hurt by all the answers but people were just honest, it is sad that people get so cruel, please don't have your wife not use this site, it is a helpful supportive site, just try and try to report his abuse maybe they can do something about it

I think he may have added her to this list where we can get questions and answers from people that we "starred" If he is abusive all she has to do is report it by clicking on the flag next to the response.

Yes and many people didn't believe me and thought that I was just being a drama queen. I finally got a restraining order and moved far away, hiding my address, contact info. I was lucky not to get raped or really badly physical harmed. I'm sorry about what happen to you.

Unfortunately, he has freedom of speech. He's a jerk, but unless she just reports abuse on Yahoo, there's not too much else she can do.
Have her check and make sure her Yahoo profile doesn't give too much personal info out though.
