Seeking Community opinions again, 4 part question. PART 3?
Part 3. Thank you for following this long question. You can find Parts 1 & 2 by clicking my profile.
The person who reported my answer was forcing his/her belief system on me. I am willing to bet that this person habitually reports people who have opinions that are different. By denying my right to my own opinion in favor of an opinion built on intolerance, you make a mockery of a free and relatively open forum. I wrote nothing aimed at insulting any individual or specific religion and do not apologize for my words!
The price of freedom, both physical and intellectual, is the insecurity and danger of seeing the ugliness of mankind exposed to the light. Yet, for those willing to take the risk there awaits the prize...the beauty that exists in man's soul!

Hi again The Grand Inquisitor,
I am back to continue expressing my views on the ongoing debate! I have already commented on Part 1 and Part 2.
As I have said in my answer to part 1 of the debate, I don't think the 'abuse reporter' has the intellectual ability to comprehend human issues as projected by you!
The only thing that person seems to be interested in is what his/her religion preaches and anything that hits the narrow eyes of that person and perceived by him/her to be against that belief held close to his/her chest will be instantly picked and pricked, as he/she has done in your case!
As for exercising one's freedom of expression, well, while insisting on its importance on one hand, it seems inappropriate to stop others from exercising it. This applies to you as well as the 'abuse reporter'.
What is needed in this context is an element of adjudication by the Yahoo Team before blindly or automatically accepting the reports of abuse and triggering follow-up action, such as deleting the question or answer reported as abusive, and there ought to be a general rule which should be applied to all! Maybe, we need reforms of the 'Yahoo-Answers' and make it a forum truly promoting such basic human rights as freedom of speech/expression and truly worth participating in.

What you say may or may not be true about this person. I don't think there is any reason for you to apologize - but that doesn't mean you didn't insult anyone or a number of people who post here on Yahoo!Answers.

It's not like you denigrated or blasphemed.
You made a simple response. But, as we have seen here, people can get bent out of shape over the merest of perceived insults
