If you're referring to the poster asking about your cousin, I told her to mind her own business and got blocked. People start their hate campaign because a. they are jealous/hating b. they are bored c. they need attention. It doesn't sit too well with me when respectable and valuable participants on here get attack for no reason.
I know you're targeted too frequently because you are such an interesting/intelligent person and some people just can't handle that.

Only if the questions were about the real you ... not the online person.
We can take this online stuff a little seriously and forget that people (for the most part) don't know the real US, the unique, special individual.
What they know is the avatar and the words we choose to use.
Sometimes people are threatened by those words or put off by the avatar.
I know there are avatars and words that have turned me away from various posters, perhaps to my loss, or perhaps not.
However, if the questions start betraying any actual knowledge of the 'real' you, your personal life, family, friends, etc, it may be time to contact the authorities.
If the questions are about whatever it is you put up for people to see (avatar, words, etc) it's all just part of the online curiosity, trolling or getting to know you ~ whoever the asker is, you can decide :-)
Cheers :-)

Yes it does in immigration, My name appeared, with about 6 other pro's, in a person's 360, That said we were being watched with the help of Yahoo staff, A few others posted to back up her question after the poster release of the 360. This person had in excess of 23000 points, I complained to yahoo about my name being used and the aid of yahoo staff claim, Yahoo instead, remove the question. Never responded to the yahoo staff, statement, and this person I did not know before , or answered any of her questions. Very strange.

If they asked me personally, no, I wouldn't. We're not interacting face to face and so the only way that you're going to get to know where someone is coming from is by asking questions. If they were asking other people, that would be kinda weird but I wouldn't necessarily waste time thinking about it. I don't have any real personal information available and I don't have a myspace page and this isn't even my real name so it's a moot point for me.

Uh, yeah. I wondered about that. And that's why I don't like myspace, or facebook, or anything like that. Too many strange, creepy people online.

I am afraid that I have to disagree with most of the posters.
If they knew something about you that no one should know, or something that wasn't in the public domain, yes, absolutely it is creepy. But they were asking about a photo that you made public. So I while I would say it makes them nosey, I don't think it makes them creepy.
EDIT
purple_fairy: THAT is creepy. But again, public domain. I know I sound harsh, but please, for your safety, don't give out too many personal details.
--Off to re-check my own info now.

Does this have something to do with another question on here?
Yeah - I guess it would be creepy. But only until I read the next rape question.

To other people or to me? If they are asking around to others about me I would be concerned but if they asked me, I'd tell what I felt OK with and remind them some things are better left untold on the net.

yes...ever since I changed my relationship status to "single" on myspace I have had all kinds of guys I don't know emailing me saying stuff like "we should chat" or "we should hang out." I really am not one to go meeting people online, particuarily when its not even a dating site. It just seems desperate to me, I enjoy the thrill of getting to know someone I'm interested in in REAL life.

Depends on the question. If they e-mailed me and started talking then asked questions like "Do you live alone?" and "What are you wearing?" then I would be creeped out. The question about the beer/soda isn't anything to worry about.
