Irritating types of answerers on Yahoo SA?

Question

Is it not hypocrytical to answer the questions of someone whom you have barred from answering yours? Is it also not incredibly hypocritical to send constant emails to people when you block emails to yourself?

What other Yahoo South Africa Answer traits really irritate you?

Answer 1

Emjay, lighten up. We are all allowed to answer any questions, unless the person has blocked us.

I was blocked by some person called Maeve who asked a crazy question:  "Were Ulrich Zwingli, Aradia and Hatsheput at all really related ?"  And because I dared answer her question, she blocked me!!

So don´t bother trying to figure out how some users think.  Some don´t know that themselves. That is why they ask questions.  To find out!!

What irritates me is when I post a question and give a link to explain  what I am asking, and the answerer does not bothe reading the link, and just replies to the headline of my question.  This happened today with my question about Father´s Day in South Africa.  It is very obvious that the link was not opened!!

But, if I did not learn that the users do not like links from my previous question about bald men and the cut (castration) and most opted for the cut, thinking that it was a hair cut, then I definitely know that now. So, I will try not to put too many links in my postings, rather than get upset about it.  

Maybe you should also try that.  Just change your way of doing things instead of trying to change the others.  I think it would be easier?

*Edit* Thanks Barend for the info. And, Res, I would not report this person, what for?

Hey Bubbles fairie, you look cute!

**Edit*  And then this Maeve person chose my answer as BA for her crazy question, but did not unblock me!

Answer 2

everything you do  irritates me  , u sir are a  12yo  as who bars anyone from answering their Qs?

Only an imbecile would do such a thing as we are all  entitled to our opinions on this forum , 2 me any person who blocks others Qs  shows a lack of intellect, as they would rather block the person rather than discuss the matter a hand.

What are you going to do know , block me aswell?, or report me? LOL

Answer 3

Do I really need to tell you that.

Answer 4

Holy Crappies I cannot answer that one cause I have not been here long enough to bar any one!!!!!

Answer 5

I haven’t got the foggiest idea what a female Egyptian pharaoh, a dubious but prominent Swiss pastor and a fictitious witch have to do with one another. And related? Give us more information.

I suspect you have lost your way judging from your answer to Barend D. You probably intended the posts for elsewhere. In which case all three are probably avatars and could quite conceivably be related but we can't tell you.

Aradia is Fiction to the Diamond miners but evermore as ever was the Princessa who died for Nicco of Haus Machiavelli. She wizened shelf books and knew the fella by a look not a crook. The FALSE Priests of "Pharaoh means King nor Queen but only Chief is hear" tell me Ma'at means balance. Whateva ya no driving so n so's. I remember driving a Chariot, a Chuck wagon and a Pontiac Pony in my Races. DO as you will, it all comes back 3x3 unless you are a baptized Child of the ONE True GOD>

Ah well, I had hoped for everything ZEN. Seams this is yet another timeline begun by Druids to escape the inevitable march of Tyme and erasing of Space. I think my first CLUE was that all true Footballers like the BANd Blue OYSter Cult.

To all those who have hung on the tree, upside down for 9 days in an Aurochs hide with the spear of destiny in their human's shape, tell it to Ulrich the Ginger his boy is today a true Werewolfer of die Weiss Kristos. I'll let the ten point buck go to a vote. TTFN HRH the PURPLE FLAME

Answer 6

Lol Honey do what I do just ignore them and dont answer them.xxxx

Answer 7

Are you drunk? Why did you spell '' hypocritical'' incorrectly the first time?????

Also, traits can only belong to people, and not an Internet forum or anything else inanimate.

What irks me is people who take themselves too seriously and who cannot or will not admit their mistakes. And on top of it all, get all offended.

Let's all take a leaf out of Inno's book and take things in our stride AND LEARN!

Answer 8

I have also been blocked by Maeve S. after answering the same question as Cakes. I tried to return to the question and could not get in.  I did not give an insulting answer. It is the first time that I have noticed I have been blocked by somebody.

I am not upset, just curious. I will just wait and see what is to come.

Cakes: I always check links. Some people are far too eager to just rattle off which is so stupid because they lose the plot. (Hope your little toe feels better)

Ah thanks Barend D. Well that is interesting.  Gosh is looks like we have a lot of deciphering to do. NOW DON’T anybody fly off the handle and report her. Maybe we can get a handle on her riddles.

Answer 9

I have not blocked anyone from Y/SA yet. I have people in my blocked list, but it's people who have added me as a contact and I don't trust them. There's some weirdos out there in the rest of Y/A world.  

I don't allow e-mail, because I don't feel like wasting my Internet bundle on receiving insulting e-mails, neither do I send any. I might open my e-mail up at some stage, but not just yet.

So I declare myself innocent on both counts. It's quite irritating when other Y/A answerers come on here without any knowledge of SA, making the most outrageous statements.

That's about it for now. Will let you know if I think of anything else.

Answer 10

Well I am guilty of doing this but I am not sorry.

If they don't want me answering their questions then they must block me too. At the end of the day it's my choice and I will not be spoken to like I have been by one particular person. Anyway I have paid the price because they kept deleting my questions and reporting every answer I wrote.
