I answered a question this afternoon under the category of Home>Health>Dental. The question was "Why do people with smelly breath always want you to get close?" I checked back later to see some of the responses, and some guy that I have never had contact with(Chicken B) has a link on there for someone with really bad breath. I clicked on it, and it is ME!!!! Is he just one of the "trolls" that has attached himself to me? I put a block on him. Could you go to that question and put a good word in for me? Thanks everyone!

Sorry to diappoint you Tara J, but I am not a hardcore biker chick. Even if I was, what would you suggest?

Gladys, no wonder you are our Queen. How did you know that? And, thank you so much. I must be having a typical Monday. I work third shift, and I haven't been to bed yet.My computer won't let me leave. LOL

Thank you Gracie, Sage Seeker, Granny, and Iritadragon for coming to my aid. I guess Queen Gladys taught us all something. I guess I was just paranoid after my run in with Joan C yesterday.All those "trolls" are hard to keep up with!

Prabhakar, I think you missed the point of the question. It was not about some indiscretion that Tara T committed to me although she was the first to answer the question.But, others in the senior section have had a problem with her in the past.
Donya. No, I never felt he was stalking me. I had a run in the day before with a 13 year old Goth girl from England.I had never seen that link before and thought he had targeted me personally, especially when I looked at some of the questions he had answered, it made it appear like he must be from England also.I thought the two were connected, but I over reacted. I apologize. But, Queen Gladys saved the day!

Alcaholicdemon, Luvpbr2, Shari, and Chip Monk, Thank you so much for your support. I guess we are never too old to learn. Queen Gladys proved that to me.

I've come across that link before and it is a link to your account. Anyone that clicks on it will be brought to their own account. It's nothing personnal against you.
For example, click here to find out who I think is the best person on Seniors . . .
Yes it actually somehow knows how to link to your own profile page. I found out just like Harley Lady when someone asked a question like "Who has the biggest hips on Yahoo?" Well, imagine my surprise when I clicked and saw it was me!!! I had my grandson look at it and he explained it to me how it works, but for the life of me, I can't tell you.

You've been harassed by a Troll Trickster, I'm afraid. That
happened to me about a week ago. And I couldn't under-
stand why I'd been zeroed in on. It puzzled me for days. Then
I realized what had happened and wondered how she'd
thought to do that. Easy, she had my avatar for info and
maybe she was smart enough to know how to provide the
link to include in her rude remarks. So now I can't remember
if I reported the person in question or not. But it sure shook
me up a bit at first. I wonder why they try to attack a few
seniors and not all. Maybe some of us stand out more than
others. Or maybe they don't like the looks of our avatars?

The matter is not entirely clear to me. Some Tara T ,it is believced committed some indiscretion and therefore he/she is being banished from the Garden of Aden that YQA is.Well,I cannot find fault with God when He did that,if somebody amongst us arrogates the position to him/herself it would not be proper.YQA is a venue for opening up communication between a people who were starving for it but were standing on formalities(or afraid to talk?) So to deny anybody the right to participate would go counter to the very spirit of YQA. Of course I have also come across some undesirable questions and even answers. I have recommended them for deletion but has never recommended permanent banishment.Recall the famous saying of the famous French writer whose writings inspired the French Revolution. It is'I do not agree with what you say but if anybody would be out to muzzle you to air these views I would be the first to fight against such an attempt.' The difficulty is that there is hardly any venue like YQA to which one can turn to if its doors are banged in our face. Of course there is a plethora of such exerxcises and I have participate and also continue to do so but none of them comes to the standards of YQA.So let us not shun somebody among us for all the time to come for his lapse.Let the show go on.

Gladys...you mean whoever clicks on that link gets THEIR OWN account?
That's actually quite cool if you think about it...but could be used for many nasty things as Harley Lady has found out.

You had no way of knowing what this was, I would have been upset to. When someone is causing you problelms it is best to block them from doing that. It was good to have this information, I hadn't seen the examples mentioned. I clicked on the site and it does come back to me. lol
This will save us all a lot of headaches, now that we know, thanks.

Hmmm...did what Gladys said and it brought me right to my own profile, so I guess you should do what she said and not worry about it.
Glad to see that we got rid of Tara's reply so fast!

I think that guy just has a sense of humour. I don't think he is stalking you. I have always enjoyed Gladys' sense of humour. She ROCKS just like the rest of you on here.
