I don't think this is a republican or democratic issue. Abuse of the reporting system is happening in all categories. (P&S, Current Events, R&S, music/lyrics <~~ yes I'm STILL TALKING ABOUT THAT)
At anyrate, I think there are people targeting the higher profile users in the more popular categories. I think it's to get people at each other's throats. It's one thing to have a legitimate issue with a question or response, it's another to purposely target people.

definite, it particularly is a 2-way highway. I had a answer bumped off for asserting the terrorists apologists do it out of expertise of multiculturalism, asserting that we could consistently no longer decide human beings's movements. i'm nonetheless undecided the way it somewhat is a contravention. yet i've got in basic terms mentioned a Q or A perhaps 4 or 5 circumstances, centred on sparkling violations. two times for posting a social secure practices variety, and the different circumstances for purposefully misrepresenting yet another member's Q&A's. They used somebody else's avatar, replaced their consumer call slightly and published a team of crap which misrepresented the member. element is all and sundry who comments with out legimate motives is an ***. in specific situations there are sturdy motives to checklist. however the gadget is being abused via some human beings and that i'm specific it particularly is on the two components.

People report questions that are extremely offensive. It is not just profanity, but open insults to other people.
I believe in free speech, but I also belief in the right to not have to hear or read hateful speech.
If you don't want to be reported, try being more tactful. Nobody will agree with you 100% of the time, so try being respectful to those who don't.
In addition, if you don't like your questions being reported, but block those answers who you don't like.

Democrats. Vegans. Republicans. Movie stars. All politicians. Christians. Atheists. Mormons. Muslims. Basically everyone.
Everyone absolutely deeply fears having their innermost beliefs being exposed for lies. It is a traumatic and painful experience that many will go to great lengths to avoid it. I would. So would you, whether you'll admit it in an anonymous public forum or not.
So to answer your question, frightened people fear questions. Same as always.

Well people report questions for all sorts of different reasons. First and foremost, insulting people with your opening statements, like name calling like "Twerps"
And by insulting republicans. I'm 100% positive republicans aren't the only ones who are afraid of questions... For example. The cheating husband about to be questioned by his wife. He could be conservative, republican, democrat, even a member of the green party.
You see, when you insult people and make generalizations towards one or a group, your are bound to get reported. If we could all just stop insulting people by asking questions that are obviously meant to ignite fury, I guess yahoo answers would have less violations.

I agree that in YA, one should have a tough hide and not report people because of a disagreement with them, no matter how caustic. In my experience though, it has been Democrats, and other leftwingnuts who report me. I'm a Republican and I'm not afraid of your Questions. You Lefties are so narcissistic.
