I have been noticing just a meanness directed toward me lately and I think this is not the place for personal vendettas!
If it is because I reported someone who was not only violating Y/A policy but the law--Again Shame on you! And Bless

I am a nice person and have given a lot of help and very good answers.
For the mean ones again - Bless

I guess it is a big deal because a system means something - and it didn't start until recently - and if someone doesn't speak up about wrongs, then it will be letting bullies go on without doing anything about it. This is a nice community of thinking people and there are always those who attempt to ruin somethng good.
Contradictory? Bless your enemies is an age old philosophy...and if I fight hate with love...that is my way...

Hello,
I know you personally and I think you should just not worry about it.
It is obvious that it bothers you and I know that you are a very kind person with much knowledge in many areas.
Who ever it is obviously believes that you are a kind hearted person too and by doing something as such to you, knows it would upset you.
My saying for circumstances such as this is;
If you don't feed it; It can't grow.
Our old friend Randy says; "Be like a Duck and just let it roll off your back."
I haven't been on Yahoo! answers long, so I'm still not up with knowing all the stars, points, etc., but surely others can look at your q&a's and see that you obviously have a good record here. Also, seems the Yahoo leaders or who ever is in charge of this, should be able to tell if someone is trying to make you or anyone look bad. They can and sometimes do track all the IP addresses of every user. Almost all web pages have that capability, whether we know it or not. (Modern technology)
So... You know you are a good person and your friends know you're a good person, don't give this person the pleasure of it upsetting you.
Please continue to share your opinions and knowledge for those that want it and may need it.
"All storms do pass, and eventually the debri gets picked up and thrown away, and it'll seem as though it was never there."
"Know that... what goes around, comes around."
Keep up the Good you do share. Who knows? You may just be this persons Angel someday.
We never know...what we may learn from others.
Have a Super Blessed Day and Pray for this person.

I understand the "Bless: It's sad that this is happening to you. I think you have done all that you can do. Maybe the thumbs down are not only directed to you but to others as well. Just don't shy away from Q&A - keep asking and answering and forget the meanies. I'm sure you learn a lot here (as I do) and I'm sure you contribute a lot. The only way a person knows you reported them is if you told them. Maybe you are just assuming that person is 'thumbing' you. You did the right thing if that person was violating the law!

I think there is someone doing it to most of the posts here, i have noticed that some posts have been given thumbs down to each answer given, even if the answer is a simple yes. Guess someone is just feeling unloved at the moment and wants to share the feeling. x x

If the ans are mean,they can thumb down,i don't think you ever given any mean or offensive ans,i think they like maybe,em,want to act cool or something,or just want to be mean.i also got some down for truthful ans and i never say anything offensive or bad i guess.all u need to do is ignore them,or follow other ans,hide.

"shame on you & bless" ??? that seems a bit contradictory--anyway, since you've marked your answers private, there's no way to see if maybe your anyswers were marked thumbs down because they were lame. Don't take things so personally, relaaax--you'll live longer (& happier)

big deal, thumbs down, i've found it better to simply ignore ignorance.
as to your reporting what you felt was a violation or policy or the law (i take it you KNOW the law being violated? intersting.) let Y!A do their own policing. it's not your responsibility. maybe you could just email the person and let them know what you feel AND what you know.

If you report someone, it's anonymous... I don't think I've ever given you a thumb's down, but I do it when an answer is stupid, mean, or the wrong answer.

Some people are just mean. I would hide you Q/A so people can't see it.

Make your answers private (edit profile page). That should cut it down some.
