Why is Yahoo Answers allowing a user to post --on a nearly daily basis since the Newtown event--death threats against people identifying as Wiccans and witches? This despite numerous complaints against the user?

And is that why he gets away with posting the same harassing Q dozens of times a day for weeks?

Spriritually speaking, of course.

Someone keeps sending me an invitation to MySpace, but I already have a bunch of blogs--many of which I don't use and signed onto because of some invitation, and my own Web site. What are the advantages of having a MySpace page? Is it a good way to connect with people who have certain interests or drive traffic to a Web site?

or should I actually find some work to do at work right now?

I do. Just want your take on it if you know. (For your reference, it is a mystical anagram sometimes found inscribed in the foundation of medieval churches, and its origins may be in antique [circa 1st century] Jewish or Heliopolitan mysticism/occultism.)

And can you be more creative about this than folks in the Religion and Spirituality section (I'm guessing, yeah, and that you'll be able to do it w/o Biblical quotes and talking points.)

A woman asked for help for her son who became aphasic (can't speak) and became partially blind and paralyzed after having a stroke. Being a medical editor specializing in neurology, I responded to the question:

Deleted Answer: Prayers are nice intentions, but your son needs rehabilitation at a stroke rehab center that many hospitals now have. He may or may not regain complete function but, in time, stroke patients can overcome paralysis , can regain some vision, and can learn to speak again especially if rehabilitation is begun sooner than later. Younger patients are also more resilient than older stroke patients in terms of stroke rehab although, of course, your son has to be carefully monitored by a stroke specialist (a neurologists or cardiologist specializing in stroke) and has to receive certain pharmacological treatments to help prevent recurrence of stroke.

Violation Reason:Community Guidelines and/or Terms Of Service Violation

The responses usually consist of Bible quotes to prove their point against points that their target (me) may have made that may be academic or historical--or at least different--from their own. Is this a form of harassment? Isn't an ill-placed thumb-down enough?

or should I save it on the off chance that I'll eventually hook up with the guy I like who works on the second floor?

Informed answers appreciated. A pox on mindless jibberish.

I ask in light of Heath Ledger's "accidental" death on cocktail of controlled pain meds, anxiolytics, and sleep meds and in light of the some of the answers I've received from another related Q that I posted. I get the feeling that the general public is a bit casual and haphazard about acquiring and using 'script drugs and then surprised when things go terribly wrong.

Or, instead of "accidentally," could one die "idiotically" or "pathetically" if not "intentionally" of this sort of thing?

I "iced" the contusion yesterday but today the swelling and discoloration is very intense. Any tips on management during the time the lesion is resolving?

I ask because I just lost 12 points for suggesting that this Q was a more pertinent Q than "Does God exist?" considering the degree to which the Answers archives is already overloaded with responses to this Q. The Yahoo Thought Police told me that my comment was neither a question nor an answer. (If I reported everyone who responded to me with a comment that I didn't think was a Q or an A, the Internet would crash and time would stop--I promise not to do that, though.)

I can't stand it anymore.

He was the only person on this thing who was nice to me.

It's getting so loud that I'm afraid other people might start to hear it, too, and I'll get into trouble with the condo board when the neighbors complain about the noise.

And which one is the "must read" for anyone interested in reading the works of this mage?

Direct answers are much appreciated. (that is, no fundy sermons, please. I go to a Hindu temple when I'm in the mood for that.)
