Why is "oh waaaa...boring" a violation?

It was bound to happen; I responded to one of those "oh why oh why did she leave me what can I do sob sob" whole page questions with the slightly sarcastic response of "oh waaaa...boring" and reported for violation. (Not a question or answer was their excuse but I say "boring" was my answer.) Maybe I was wrong to hurt a poor, bleeding, sensitive person's feelings but does anyone agree that to get dinged by a violation was a BIT unfeeling on their part?

Update:

P.S. Please stop taking this site so serioiusly, my friends. It's like believing everything you read in the newspaper...stop it...hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings...honest.

    I bet the person who wrote the question reported you for "gaming" (as in, "Thanks for the two points.")

    I'm guessing they had both motive and opportunity.

    It's not you it's whoever gave you the violation. I see curse words, all kinds of stuff. I got one myself for rolling my eyes at a joke.

    Go figure.

    Guess if you might not like the answer - don't ask the question.

    Grow up is what I'd tell them.
