How spinelessly, cravenly shallow would someone have to to be to have a show of emotional support for a DYING woman *removed?*
Do they have no life, no soul, no heart . . . or just no freakin' class?

How unspeakably sad. That person goes through life with no heart, and Gnostic leaves with hers full of our love.
I can't quite imagine why a person would find it amusing or "good" in any sense of the word.
May the three fold rule come back to haunt his days and chill his dreamless nights.

Hi Wayne, It's a good idea but will have repercussions as others have mentioned. Yes, it would likely cut down on the number of false reports, but it also might make people more hesitant to report the real violations - such as attacking people with hate or threatening violence. I do like what Captain Atheism suggests, if the "abuse report is overturned, the reporting party should lose points or face suspension for multiple attempts." Sort of like how the legal system works. If you file a frivolous lawsuit, you are liable for paying the other side's lawyer's fees. I think we're all missing the real crux of the problem. It's not so much the frivolous reactionaries who report every question that threatens their fragile belief structure. That would not be an issue if YA didn't comply so readily. Captn Atheism mentioned "if the abuse report is overturned". Has this EVER happened? Bottom line: the solution is twofold. One: there needs to be a means of limiting people's ability to use false reporting as a weapon - maybe limit the number of reports each person can file to one per week, maxing out at 5 per level, and if you file a false report, you lose 200 points. Secondly, YA appears not to have the resources to verify whether each and every report is true or not. It appears to be just an automated process with very little human intervention. This needs to be changed.

Pretty darned spinelessly, cravenly shallow, they have to be.
No freakin' class, they have.

I did not know about this. How terrible.
I have no answer for why some humans treat other humans so badly.
I have noticed many put less value on human life, and others think they are just soo important they must be listened to, and adored.
I will pray for all concerned with this issue. Peace.

...do you think Nazis were nice people? do you think Jews that murdered millions of Canaanites were nice people? reporting this on yahoo is nothing to senseless murdering though out the world.
the world is a nasty and evil place,
with a [few good people in it]

Seriously? Good goddess. Wow. That's just a new damn low. Even for the fundementalist.

They're the types of people who nitpick over what everyone else is doing rather than minding their own business.

What's almost equally sad is some jerk going around *this* thread and giving thumbs-down to people. What, truth hurts?
Idiots...
Anyway, hugs for (((Gnostic))) and also for you (((Boar))), because you made another thread!

That sucks. The report button is what takes all the real fun away from yahoo answers.
In this case: that was really uncalled for.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE JUST CAN'T CLICK ON A DIFFERENT PAGE AND LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND.

It's not surprising. Seems we have plenty of callous people in here that don't care about the welfare of anyone who is different than they are. I don't pity them... Pity is saved for people who can't help their circumstances....
