Like they asked a question that is about something you are struggling with, they know it and the question simply cuts you emotionally? What was your reaction? Did you remove them from your contact list? Ignore it?

I find it difficult to believe that one would ask a question with the purpose of insulting one of their contacts. An individual might ask a question to offer a different perspective to an issue or simply to help people see the humor in any situation - a healthy way of lightening up any situation or struggle.
We ALL have issues with which we struggle. These issues are part of life and how we learn. We can CHOOSE to be offended by others, or look within and explore our own reactions as part of our own process. If you find a connection with another no longer serves you, by all means, remove them from your contact list, but don't take things personally.

I don't believe in coincidences. I would say that emotional cut was for a reason and you cannot blame a human source. This is just my view but when we struggle, God is there and this could be one way He gets your attention.
My reaction might be curious at first but you cannot know another's motive without asking. Don't assume.
I wouldn't ignore something like this. It is the time, the season to look at something.
If you find it out to be a direct attack, I would delete them from contacts list, only if there was no settlement.

Ms Crone, in my experience, it's always best to get ALL the facts and information together BEFORE one reacts in a negative way. When we "shoot from the hip", many times, we discover that these things weren't even directed at us nor do they have anything to do with us. Reacting negatively however, would be percieved asan unwarrantede attack by YOU, and would tend to damage your friendship.
Talk with this person and find out what was going on, if the post WAS directed at you or was simply an innocent question without you in mind at all. I sure hope that was the case. In either event, we ALL need to think before we speak/write and then keep others' feelings into consideration.

I remember your response to my question yesterday and so this question struck something with me. It seems you are going through something petty rough right now.
I mention that because this may make you more sensitive and possibly jump to conclusions as to the motive of the person asking the question.
Is it possible that the question in question is a mere coincidence? Is it possible that this person is going through a similar situation?
So without knowing the motive of the other person it is hard to say how the reaction would be. I would email them and ask them and go from there.

No, I've never had this happen. I would talk to them about it first and ask why they did that since they knew it was something I was struggling with. And let them know how it made me feel. If it's still not resolved, then I would remove them and ignore it after that.

It happened to me, but it didn't cut me to the bones. Maybe he or she is trying to help or he/she is suffering as you from the same situation, so asks people instead of you. If you feel that your contact is mean to you and trying to hurt you, ignore it and be more conservative with him/her. Don't remove contacts unless they are bad in nature, you don't know their motives.

I would have asked them via email about their motives. I would be hurt, but I cannot hold grudges against those I think of as friends..

How horrible! I would take them off my contact list, because obviously they do not deserve to be your cyberfriend.
