Why do people's accounts get deleted on Yahoo! Answers for petty reasons?

• Damn. That's appalling. I remember now - Gypsy questions, right?

  I am the lucky soul who was cloned 22 times. My friends faught and faught and faught. We all lost.
  
  The only thing that stopped him was me leaving. There were either 3 or 4 clones after I left until he realized that I was actually begone.
  
  It took 2 days for Ya-poo to take these clones down. Often I had 1-3 at one time after me.

• Here is my story, written, I believe, at 14 clones...

• Wow. I don't get it. The hatred, I mean. I had no idea. You haven't seen any of that s**t on AB have you? No, I guess not. I'm not sure that would happen here, but if it ever does, take it to the Blog, give feedback, and tell me or someone else who's been here a long time. Not that we have any more clout or power than anyone else, but you know - it's good when people have your back. I'm glad you posted that link. Very interesting. So...would you say the atmosphere at AB is kinder, smarter, or what?

• I have seen only one instance of bigotry towards the Rromani at AB and it was mild. It was also deleted within 6 hours after it was reported and flagged.
  I have seen nothing like the "Robert Shelton"s and "Ralph Kramden"s on this board. So far the only trolls I have picked up are negative point trollers.
  So far, I am pleased with how AB handles the trolls.
  I have heard of one clone of one person but that seems to have been dealt with.
  If it happens at AB, I am going to contact them and, from what I have heard, you actually speak with a human at this website.
  I also took it to Ya-poo's blog and they ignored me. Well, 316 reads on my myspace blog so SOMEONE is listening. I wrote to y_answers_Katie, customer service, abuse, went to the blogs, went to suggestions, had the clones and stalker reported repeatedly, my FRIENDS did all the above... Ya-poo ignored us all.
  I have continued to watch. Ya-poo is racist against us. Any Gypsy going there is in for it.

• Why do people dislike Gypsies? Sorry for being obtuse!

• Oh it is a long, long story. I answered in short here (well, short for me). This one also gives a "taste" of the hatred, though it is hardly the worst:

  I am quite pleased to see the trolls did not get that one.
  Here is another one and one of my clones is still in it. This was one of my "Black" clones. I have no clue why the stalker thought I would care. The haters did not hit this one because, by then, I had many friends and they came into this question. Now the haters are back at previous levels:

• Feel free to tiptoe through any of my answers. I have starred my favorites. Most of my best are still in there though I do bemoan the loss of some to the stalker.
