What do you do about abusive columnists?
I've asked legit questions and have gotten back rude and insulting answers, which I have repsponded to only to get back more hostility in return. I've even question some of them for answers they gave other people that were mean and totally inapropriate and reported one person in particular to advicenators, but have not recieved a reply from them. It really makes me mad when people are abusive on this site. Some people are clearly not here to help, and seem to enjoy being obnoxious. Did I do the right thing, or is it best to just ignore them and let them get away it? Do you think this site should be monitored? I think it should. The few that want to be rude give this site a bad name in my opinion.

Maybe give some free advice about: ?
I understand your frustration. To my understanding, this is a monitored site. But, when we wish for something to be done about something that affects us negatively, then we must take action ourselves.
There is a rating system on the site of each advsior here. I don't know how much difference it will make, but, if one offends you in such a manner, you always have the right to go to their site and rate them in a manner that reflects that. After a while, Im sure alot of people will join in and soon, the negative ratings will become public and hopefully that will quell some of the rudeness, if not ridding the site of those unwanteds altogether.
But, I do ask, keep in mind that there are those who ask questions that they really don't want an answer to. They ask the most ridiculous questions imaginable simply to see if we WILL make an attempt to answer. It happens ALOT. And after awhile, it becomes hard for us to determine if the questioner wants an honest opinion or is just "playing around". Maybe thats was the case with you, I'm simply saying it's a possibilty. If not, then I apologize for any unecessary rudeness you may have encountered. In a effort to prevent that, it mayhelp if you prefaced the question with "This is a very serious matter...." or something of the like. Good luck. I hope I have helped in a way.
