Feature request: Friends & Foes?

I think having a "foes list" would kind of go against the helpful, friendly vibe that I get from Mahalo answers. If a particular user bugged me, I could ignore them on my own without allowing it to hinder my experience. It just seems very unnecessary to me.

If this was a discussion board, then yes. However, in general answers should be focused on the question asked. If someone is constantly attacking another person's answers, it will only make them look bad.In some cases, when another person is being juvenile, we need to be the bigger person and let it go.

Show them that while it is appropriate to argue with what a person says, it is not okay to attack the person themselves. If someone wants to call me a bitch, I'm okay with that. Quite honestly, I am a bitch sometimes--that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Someone wants to say that I'm wrong, that's okay too. They better be able to back up what they say with evidence. Otherwise, it boils down to a "Did not/Did too" argument that helps no one.

Finally, if you're making so many enemies here that you can't remember who they are, then you're doing something wrong (IMHO).

Haha, that'd be kinda funny. :) But I think the Mahalo people have a handle on the people are violate the Terms of Service. :).

I agree with darcy on this one (and many others) that because this isn't a message board it isn't a problem. For the most part people post an answer to a question and never return to the question unlike a message board thread that you may post in 20 times over the course of a week. If you don't like someone's answer mark it as not helpful.

If you don't like the way they responded to you either refute their facts once and drop it or just ignore them entirely. Your reputation on Answers should be obvious to other people based on your number of points and information from your profile so that isolated bickering in a few questions should have a major impact.

I think Mahalo as a whole has a good handle on the Foe thing. I have noticed since I started with Mahalo that many people have been removed from the system for TOS violations. So, unless they stop "being on top of things", we should be ok.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
