this is a question posted over 3 hours ago .... which I came across through my contacts as it had my name on it
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsTHnr8fta7dZ4GbicZFj4MgBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20071025092419AA0hJBL&show=7#profile-info-oLQpitOyaa
and even now there are still thumbs down on my answer
do people actually wait ... and wait ..... and wait .... just to pounce on an answer and give it thumbs down ?
and can anyone tell me why someone would defend a troll and make me out to be some sort of homophobe by suggesting that Fracine is most likely in the closet with all his/her posts on Atheists being gay ?
this truely has me stumped and very upset

I read your answer and I don't understand it either. If its any consolation, I gave you a thumbs up.

Pangel, did you answer that question at a different time than usual? I was wondering because I've noticed that there are certain times of the day that if I log on I'll see "Christian" answers receive scores of thumbs-down, and at other times "Atheist" answers receive the same.
And yes, there are people who probably are in your "Fans" list that simply wait to see what kind of answers you give so they can give you a thumbs-down, I know that in my profile there are many who surely don't like me that much lol, that they are waiting to do the same .. give a thumbs down to whatever I answer.
Don't be upset hon, no one who is a regular gives a hoot about trolls. I don't :)

I would guess that the troll has 11 different IDs and too much time on it's hands.
Don't sweat it. You know who you are, an that is what really matters.
Most of the regulars here are not going to be fooled by a troll rant.
Edit:
We need to come back to this question in 24 hours when it is open for voting and all vote for Pangel's answer. LOL.

Dont take it personal. This site attracts alot of homophobes. Not too many theologians (a few but not many) on Y/A.
And I read your answer. I share your sentiments and you expressed my thoughts but in a much kinder fashion. Basically I just think the "Francine" character is an ignorant jerk and I wont even bother to answer any of its questions because I'm hoping it will go away.
So I'll go back and give you a thumbs up. I gotta big thumb so it will cancel out most of those other thumbs.

Dang I just went back there and youve got a whole mess of thumbs up. You got alot of friends here, so who cares about the rest. So (((hugs))) to you

Can't be any worse than what they did to my question/comment to everyone of every belief that answers a question or gave me thumbs up or down and thanked them and to let them know they were important and cared for.
Yes they did get it removed and then every answer I went to after posting it they followed me around giving me thumbs down. It is just somebody that doesn't have anything else to do and thrives on drama. Why can't we all agree to disagree and go on?! Isn't this what this place is for?
I am sorry Pangal that they are doing it to you too. We Pagans and Athiests need our own answers tab that way we might find it easier to oust the trolls. (((((((((((Pangel))))))))))

Ignore it hon. I have a suspicion they were just out to get a reaction from you...
It's obvious that the guy was using multiple accounts to thumbs down you and others, because so many people got just over or around 10 thumbs down.
(((((((((Hugs))))))))))))
Don't let it upset you....we know the kind of person you truly are and we love you

Ah dear pangel. How I do look forward to seeing your answers, reading your questions, etc. Like everyone else here that I have read so far has said. Everyone loves you but the trolls. you are always polite. Therefore I would not worry about this. Keep on hugging like you always do =)

pangel, i suspect, as do many others here, that the troll was being 'defended' by another of its accounts...in which case, he's playing (a game) with himself...i saw nothing wrong with your answer...pardon me borrowing from 'the Queen's English', but i found it to be 'spot on', and timely as well-more people need to stand up when another person is being attacked!

I agree with you Pangel and a thumbs up from me too. She is a troll that asked a bunch of stupid questions about her "boyfriend". Here was another... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=At1DwpqLQrRt24lRYIxXL63ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071024153739AAChJTc&show=7#profile-info-bmMZYSbVaa
