Australians, do you have your Yahoo Answers email open? Do you receive emails from other members?

I always have had mine open and no way will that loser email you in my opinion.This would be the same turd who reported my question the other day.I have had contact from several regulars here who shall remain nameless, pointing the finger at a certain rather reserved member who never joins in the banter here.Don't know if they are right,but just so she knows,she are being watched.I certainly don't suspect any of the regulars. Minty,surely you jest! Just look at the TDs Aussie,Bingalee, myself and others get! Talk about hypocracy,that is laughable.

There's been a TD attack in the Aussie section recently. I personally just ignore the TDs as I couldn't give a sh!t about trolls. Edit: Oh, and yes my email is open if they have something constructive to say

Yes and yes. I find it interesting that when some of the cranky conservatives can not defend the indefensible, they resort to abusing the asker of the question and others who answers said question. The serial TDer obviously has no answer worth a writing either. @ Paddy- just to clarify regarding the TDer, I'm not saying they on are either the left or right. They don't appear to have an opinion, worth writing, on anything. Whoever it is seems to be quite happy to TD all and sundry, you, me, Aussie, Bing, Sheila nearly everyone, disregarding what the answer says. Nearly everyone who has any opinion on anything seems to be fair game to the TDer. As you can see below it's either 1 serial TDer or 2 or 3 deadbeats but really who cares. Everyone needs a hobby :)

I always had email available even when I was plain old Independent. After that account was deleted from being stung by the Trolls I came back as Independant MK 2 and have again, kept email open. You see, like you Sheila, I am an adult who doesn't mind comments or criticism about my Q and A. You see me churn it out a-plenty so what kind of weak as piss loser would I be to --churn it out and not allow a right of reply? You guessed it, a Troll loser. So many of them here now it's hard to keep up. BTW everyone Jamie B is now trolling Philippines Travel section --sent me an email today telling me he is going to beat me up, then blocked me. Big, brave, intelligent fellow huh?

Yes mine is open I quite often get emails from Americans in the political section and I like to hear from them. Its pretty sad really because even though they get a bit carried away with the partisan support for their party the Aussies Rules section ( which I left because of it) and now the Australian travel one is the only one I have been reported in. I got up this morning and hey presto I got another one from baby boomers question. I have never reported anyone and I could care less if I get thumbed downed because small things amuse small minds .

Hahaha "The image of someone sitting hunched over their keyboard drooling as they go from question to question clicking away frantically" I had a bit of giggle. My email is always open for yahoo members, and I have received many emails from parents, teachers etc looking for information on learning disorders, and I am happy to pass on what ever information & any links they may find helpful. I currently have a current stalker who has nothing better to do, must live a very sad & lonely life. This person started to copy my answers verbatim including my signature in the source box, this is plagiarism, so I reported them. For this they sent me some nasty, abusive emails, so I blocked them, so they now TD all of my answers when they can find them, but then mark it as interesting lol. This TDing of answers happens in all area's of yahoo, especially if someone is a top contributor. I have a few people who I respect & acknowledge their answers, and their answers are often TD like mine, and if they try asking a question its deleted almost immediately. No doubt the TD fairy will hit my answer too.

Mine has always been open & on occasions I've had my share of hate mail , not from anyone in this category . The nutters out there probably sit in dark rooms getting their jollies this way , & others but hardly likely to expose themselves in public ...at least not in an adult forum !

Yes and I have discussed the issue of TDs and reporting with several. Also got one from a conservative who didn't like my comment on lemmings, nicer still are compliments from users who have found an answer useful or ask for some follow up information.

Sheila, I agree with you and mine is always open.
