I also noticed the same thing. What is the point in this? This isnt high school and I am sure that most of these people will never meet their Yahoo Answers ';buddies'; in real life, so why would they have these little cliques just to target other members who don't agree with them or their style of parenting?Do you think that there are cliques on the parenting site, who gang up against other members?
Yes, you're correct about the juvenile cliques. I have been stalked and have been reported for violations for this very same thing. They report me when they do not agree with me. Even when the person asking the question chooses my answer, the others vote thumbs down. This buddy stuff is lame, and totally bizarre.There are people in this world that will never mature beyond the high school mentality.Do you think that there are cliques on the parenting site, who gang up against other members?
By the way, it isn't spelled s-t-o-c-k-e-r-s. It is stalkers. Can we spell e-d-u-c-a-t-i-o-n?

lol your right, I can't spell. How much education do you need for your career? Glad you were able to correct me on that particular word.
PS It's not you with duel accounts I figured out, someone else, they must have read my reply and turned tail and ran, because I got their number.

And no I didn't report her. I also didn't report you for answering my question. You may think different, I really don't care. Yes your answer was weak at best, more insulting then anything else, however you did have 1 sentence which was an attempt to answer my question. For that I didn't report you.
Report Abuse
I have reported you in the past. Because you clearly violated the guidelines.
So then who did it. I wonder, of all the many friends you make on this site, who would do such a thing. Build yourself up all you like, some of us have figured you out.

Honey theres nothing to figure out. I dont hide my opinions or act fake. I am who I am, and am not afraid to show it. You dont have to figure me out, I lay it out there for you to see.

As for your comment about the education of dental assistants, it shows you ignorance of dentistry. Assistants have to be registered by their state in infection control, jurisprudence, radiology, CPR, and nitrous oxide monitoring.
Report Abuse
I've learned more about dentistry in 10 yrs. than you will learn in a lifetime. You couldn't do my job if you tried.

Violating communtiy guidelines? Hmm...did you want to be the pot today or the kettle? At least I try to avoid you on here, you however keep following me. I'm flattered, but lady get a life. You must have more to do than follow me around.
Report Abuse
More to do? check out your profile (who needs a life)
I'll just leave it at this: You'll understand where I am coming from once your children reach adulthood. Of course I am sure you won't change, you will just blame someone or something else for your uncontrolled offspring.
Report Abuse
Registered by the state? what you spent a whole Saturday in class. OK maybe 2 or 3 Saturdays. My husband and I both got certified in CPR %26amp; First Aid the same day. This is your idea of contrubiting to society, this is what's so impotatnt to keep you away from your children?, lol

You want education? come talk to me once you've finished 4 years of higher learning, at one of the top schools in the nation. Yes, and I gave it all up to be with my girls. IT'S CALLED SACRIFICE.
good day

You go ahead and live your life in your glass house. Your choice of how you live your life is your choice, but no other mom, including me, doesn't have to raise our kids how you think we should. You need to be more respectful of the fact that other moms have their own way of doing things.
Report Abuse
Just because it isn't your way, doesn't make it the wrong way. You however, seem to think that. I certainly don't have to explain my education to you. Your basing your opinion on your ';friend'; who is an assistant. Perhaps she doesn't have all the training that I do.
Report Abuse
I am certainly not going to argue my qualifications with someone with no real dental knowledge. As far as stalking goes, why is it that you keep going to every question I ask and giving a nasty answer, and keep going back and adding comments to MY questions. Do I do that with you? NO
Report Abuse
I montior my questions and answers, not yours. I don't really care about what you are saying to other people. You however keep making it a point to go to my questions and answers. I would call that stalking. You have made it a habit to track my actions on here.
Report Abuse
I would say it is you who needs to spend more time with your kids, cause it takes way more time to follow, stalk, and harrass someone, than it does to ask or answer questions on here. Join a club or something, cause I shouldn't be your only hobby.

There are clicks on every category of Y!A. It's just a human nature thing. You aren't going to change their minds if that's what they like to do, and as long as they aren't being vicious, just let them do what they will. It's kind of part of their own opinion, which everyone has a right to, right?
I'm a member of a couple mommy sites one being MommyTalk.com and I've never experienced the clique. I actually feel like all of us have become ONE BIG clique together with our similarities and differences.
yeah they're are clicks and it's interesting. I'm always being told to look up to my parents and my elders but they're doing the same thing my school school is doing.. i'm in a highschool/middleschool and i have to say that we're pretty immature. I thought parents were the ones who we are supposed to turn to when we have issues like this,how are we going to do that if they're doing the same thing?? i hate to say it, but americans are so snotty towards eachother sometimes. why can't we all just get along?
I'm not part of a clique
but i answered some women's question last night and she didn't like my answer and is sending me threatening emails saying i should get a life before someone takes mine lol some people on here are nuts
but i do have some people on here i talk to but as far as answering or judging there answers or questions i don't if they wanted to know what i thought they would just ask me
I think because they have no confidence in themselves, so they have to feel validated by others who share the same opinions.
I have thought the same thing before, but I didn't think so much ,in order to attack this bad thing,what we can do?
They're probably not even cliques, but the same person who gives him/herself votes in order to get more points! It would be easy enough for someone to have a few identities and then choose best answers for each one using one of their other usernames.
They're not really using this forum for anything than massaging their own egos! What a waste of time!
Yes, I agree I have my own personal stockers. It's just a part of Q%26amp;A life. Who really cares what someone else thinks? I personally don't. My views are in the minority, so the more thumbs down I get, the more satisfied I am.
PS- GREAT QUESTION. I finally figured out someone with duel accounts (one of my stocker friends, lol)
Regina G - You have only 144 points and started 2 days ago, yet you explain how you rate questions, here's your quote-
';I give alot of thumbs up to what I agree with and definitely the thumbs down on people who think they are always right even if it is terrible old fashioned advice. It is obvious that if you go back into the types of questions they ask and answer';
I find that very amusing as to how that's possible since you must have at least 250 points or ';level 2'; to give a thumbs up or down.
http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_sy鈥?/a>
Unless of course you have another account, that does have over 250.
BUSTED, lol.
Now that's funny!
if u ask me it is not a question of if there r clix but of who r these people? i mean everyone has there own opinion and i believe that people should counteract this behavior after all u can give the clix a thumbs down too... it is not a one man war!
Yes, I agree. That's why I don't hang out in the parenting section anymore. I stick to politics. At least there you know who your enemies are and you expect thumbs down stalkers.
I am friendly with several women on this site that don't agree with everything I do but at least they handle it like adults.
So this is what middle class American women do with their time - complain about one another, form childish squads that target the opinions of others....??? My Lord, has it gotten that bad here? I'm embarrassed, frankly, that as mothers any of you have time and/or energy to participate in such meaningless, mindless, squibbling banter when you could be spending time with your children. You're all poor, and you're all lame. Who gives a rat's **** whether your answer gets a thumbs up or a thumbs down rating from someone you have never met and who doesn't know squat about you or your ';parenting skills';, whatever the hell that means.
Is this the way to spend your freedom as American women? Is this what we are fighting a war to protect? Give me a break. Get a life - all of you freaks.
I know, it's so totally immature, I don't know why these people are parents!!!
....and there goes another thumbs down ';JB'; I bet.
Yes, I agree with you 100% and they are idiots. Just remember to always come from the heart and remember they are just immature idiots. You are entitled to your own opinion. Remember that!
I would not be surprised. Any controversial subject will cause people to ';clique up';. It makes them feel as if their opinions are somehow MORE valid if the other girls in Gym Class think their answers are cool. lol.
Then again, I piss people off all the time because my mouth doesn't come with an ';off';. So who knows whether the cliques are after me or not. :) Like Pee Wee said....';im a loner, Dotty....A rebel.';
Well, Yeah! Anyone and Everyone is crawling these websites... For example , these Patriotic Questions regarding America is no more likely to be than a Government Official , to keep tabs on Anti-Americans. Be Careful, before you answer any question! I got reported for call a person Retarded , because to be frank their question was none other than that!
I don't think I've noticed what you are talking about, but I also don't really pay attention to other people's answers (unless I'm the one asking the question). There do seem to be some people on here who are very opinionated, when all we're asking for is a simple answer to a question.
As for the desire to rise to the top, these people probably have nothing else going on in their life.
David Filo of Yahoo carbon crap sucks to the extreme.
He obstructs freedom of speech as he does not like us to comment on his **** hair style. 'cos he is the official of yahoo he has the right to discard my comments and questions under the ';pretext'; of violation even though I see all violations of all types in so many posts on yahoo the suck answer crap.
Yes and the home schooling site also. There is one way their way. Even if you have more education and knowledge than they do. The insecurity about how little they actually know shows.
I had to temporarily stop emails. I was being stalked by one particular guy (17 and no idea of how life worked). He said he did not beleive I was a professor- HOW dare I come on this site - he would not allow it. Ater all he was the 'man';. He told me (in emails) that I had to give him my full name and where I worked or he was going to report me and get my id yanked.
I told him how I choose to spend my free time was MY business and not his. I had every right to offer my opinions and my opinions as opposed to his were based upon knowledge, education, and experience. He had no right to my name or other personal information. I told him in no uncertain terms to leave me alone. I sent his email to the yahoo legal office.
If this is true, that's honestly the most pathetic thing I've ever heard in my life. Those women need to get a life insead of stalking online.
I don't think so, but I do think there are people who feel VERY strongly about things, and those things are at the total opposite ends of the spectrum. If someone posts a ';spanking'; question, those people will rally around people who advocate their personal decisions, but I don't think there is a conscious effort to ';gang up on'; people.
People on this site are funny. I know of someone that likes to accuse people of being in cliques. There are a few people on this forum that I have quite a bit in common with. We email back and forth or talk on messenger. If you call talking to someone you meet on answers about something besides answers, I guess I'm guilty. As far as the thumbs up and thumbs down, I don't go out of my way to search and find people to do that to. If one of my buddies gives an answer I like or agree with, I will give them a thumbs up. Shoot I do that to people have have never seen on here before though. People shouldn't get themselves so worked up over a website. When I first came on here, I got slammed, comments were made about my children, but I got over it. Sorry if I'm not more help to you.
Yes all sites have cliques and if you don't fit in you are targeted as a loner and dissident resident. People especially women can be cruel and mean and this is the only way they can attack someone because in real life they are the loners and dissident residents.
I am only 3 days into this site and I have recognized it already. I had a question about my 9 year old daughter still wanting to sleep in my bed and the answer I got more than once was....';You are the parent, right?'; Well, of course I am! I was just hoping that someone could give me some useful advice (which I did receive alot of great ones) but didn't need the smartass comments. I would say fight back, but then you would be no better than them. Keep your head up!
hahahaahahahahahaha.................. yea . but i dont and im not in a clique
I'm fairly new to Answers, but anyone that has the time to actually hate and stalk another Answers member needs to get a life!!!!!
