Just another case of troll getting their knickers in a knot, I wouldn't worry about it.

I would not worry about it, when something like this happens it is just better to move on and forget it.......you know what kind of person you are and that's all that matters! Have a great day!

Gather will look at it and deem if it is truly harassment. When they see that it isn't they'll remove the flag.

Stuff like that happens on here or on any social site. Don't let it bother you too much.

I don't know the article you're talking about but I do know that there are a lot of 'crazies' on here just like out there in real life. They don't diminish all the good people and what they do but can cause major aggravation. Anyway.....just contact Gather VPs about the flagg and they'll remove it. They do alot of THAT lately with the 'drive by' slammers. What the slammers don't know is that Gather does have a way of telling who did what here and they're REALLY not getting away with anything at all. I've seen people removed from this site for repeatedly doing this.

I think they should start suspending people for that "poop"!!! Gather has to know who the people are who flag thing's. So why don't they teach them how to behave...Sad that adults have to be taught what they should just know already...

Don't worry about it. Gather will look into it. They'll remove the flag most likely.

I had someone try to nail me for copywrite on a video clip. I had a short music clip in my personal video (like 22 seconds). Eh.. ok... Waited a couple of days and Gather removed the flag.

You know the funny thing about flinging poop at people? You will always get it on yourself.

Don't let it get to you, Teresa, they'll get bored eventually and move on to someone else.

I meant them slinging poop, not you, btw.

Ignore it, the flag will likely get taken off... especially if you didn't name-names or anything. :) *HUGS*

some people like to cause problems for no reason. I've had a few things flagged for no reason too, but gather is pretty good about removing the flags.

I wouldn't worry about it. Whomever has done this wants this type of reaction.

Hmmmm ... I think it's harassment when our kitten Alice poops beside the sofa instead of IN THE BOX! Next time I'm gonna flag her!

This whole thing is getting crazy.

My advice- Just ignore it and move on.

For those who didn't see the article, just type "well poop" in the search window, and Teresa's article should be the second one on the list. No names were mentioned in the article. If that one and this one were both flagged by the same person (very likely) that person needs some kind of warning about unnecessary flagging.

Marsha S., I like your definition of trolls, I think I will start using that word in that context.

Teresa,

While you haven't mentioned names in the post, making public the disputes you have with others is never a good thing...and reflects negatively upon you as much as the other person. Thankfully Gather removed the flag (as they should have), but hopefully in the future you will reflect upon what is to gain by such a public display.
