It was simply, "Shall we all join in a chorus of Kumbaya?" Considering the context of what was going on here at this forum -- people trying to clear up some of the ugliness that's occurred -- it was meant to lighten things up and to try to call for peace.
It wasn't hurting anyone, so I don't see why someone felt the need to do this. Perhaps the person who reported it would be willing to explain why s/he did so.

Hi Samone, Thanks. No, the birthday wasn't my daughter, but I thought it was silly for that one to be reported, as well.

Thanks, Isabel. That's good to know. I wasn't aware that Yahoo! did that.

Gee, I missed it. I must have been busy appealing a violation or something.
Anyways, I'm feeling a little beaten up today, so what the heck.....
Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya Oh lord, kumbaya
Yes, I got my question "how can we make this a better forum" deleted as well.. Have no idea why.. isn't that a question? I went on to say that, in light of the apologies/attempts to cool down, I listed some specific things I'd like to see change in how we deal with each other, then asked for other people's suggestions
it was reported for chatting
So if a person says "What are some colors" and STARTS a list by saying I know orange, red, and blue are, what are some others.. THat is considered chatting? Why? because the asker started the list??
I don't get the hatred here..
I certianly would have not reported a question like yours
Wow- how sad. I just wanted to say that I did not report it, nor do I feel it should have been reported. I have had several questions and/or answers deleted that I don't feel should have been (and some that probably should have been) so I know how unfair that feels- you just try to put something out there, with a little heart in it, and bam! Somebody obviously disagrees with it.
I'd like to add I have seen an improvement today and am loving the respectful answers around here. Thank you to all of you who are keeping up with your apologies.
**I didn't sing yesterday, but if it's okay, I think I will today:
Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya Oh lord, kumbaya
Oh, and since Shelly mentioned chatting. How is ANYTHING on Yahoo not possibly chatting? I never understood that 'reason' for having questions or answers deleted. Especially since I happen to be a more 'conversational' typer- you can 'hear' me talk when you read what I write.
Ah man! I didn't get a chance to sing! I saw it and it was cute. You get such a limited view of people on here that it is great when you get a peak at the fun side of everyone. Axing Kumbaya? How low can you go?
Yesterday WAS an interesting day on this site. There were several posts, like yours, intended and needed to lighten the atmosphere. Under the circumstances it was appreciated by me.
I guess someone who does not have a sense of humor had happy report fingers. It's too bad because now and then we all need a laugh and should cut each other a break from the RULES.
ETA: I also had an apology deleted a few months ago.
