Forum:Reactor Rulings

I was playing my new deck last night, against my girlfriend, when it occured to me, that forum regarding negation vs destruction, not sure where it's at on this ruling query page any longer. Now, I know that the show is not a good thing to use as an example, but as I have never played a reactor deck nor possessed one, I don't have another example. If I remember correctly, Greiger when activating his Reactors dealt the burn damage as it says, but the targeted cards were destroyed without taking effect. My understanding from the above mentioned forum is that as long as the card doesn't say negate it still takes effect, so my question is if my opponent plays Lightning Vortex and I have Spell Reactor RE on the field, will they take the damage of 800 LP and I keep my face up monsters or do I lose my monster, therefore missing the timing with Spell Reactor RE. Another example of that one, is if my Spell Reactor is on the field, and my opponent plays Monster Reincarnation, I know that they will take the damage, and I know that they will still have to discard the card for the cost, but does the card still resolve or doesn't it.

For Trap Reactor Y FI with Torrential Tribute would they take the damage or wouldn't they.

To sum up the question, does the opponents card resolve or is it negated.
