Don't know why I got a violation on ..?

Do you have any ideas what was wrong with my answer ???

the question was did our great grandparents live longer than us ...

I said my great grandmother lived to 99 and I'm not even half way there yet ... (assuming it was understood that if I'm in my 40's so far she had lived longer ... I've still got years to go) But apparently I did not ask or answer the question according to their violation.

I guess I should have said yes before the response,

Should I assume to be an idiot in the future to accommodate the lack of intelligence that sometimes rears it's ugly head on Y!A ???

To top it off when I went back to see the other answers I got another point deducted ... yeah it's only 1 point but what's the reason for the deduction ... you're not allowed to go back and see what a correct response would have been .. they don't let you answer again anyway. Now they've got me cranky!!!

Update:

They did deduct a point it was 1779 before I went back .. after viol.notice .. and it went to 1778 .. I guess once you've violated a question you can't go back without a fine?

thanks for those answers that made me laugh ... you got me back to happy again !!!

Update 2:

By the way I did contact yahoo and they said they reviewed the question and answer and gave my points back with an apology ... so they do respond.

    possibly yet unlikely. examine your solutions for stars the place human beings did no longer answer you. they're marking your question to be gang violated. additionally insert a explanation for why you asked the question so as that it won't be able to be violated for chatting considering that is calling for information. i could enable you recognize to drop all your followers yet that is going without asserting. you may %. them up as contacts by applying leaving your digital mail open. They ask and you upload then there is your protection. meanwhile you're in 2 sections that scream violation. they are going to violate you plenty greater possibly in those aspects via fact checklist trolls loaf around those aspects to get uncomplicated comments. Oh, and in case you do not have one, get a decrease back up account.

    Did you respond to the violation notice. I have been reported a few times. I myself did not think I was in violation and responded back to Yahoo Answers. Each time I have not heard back. NOT saying that I was forgiven or that I won but nothing else happened. And more to your question, NO I do not think you did anything wrong.

    You didn't lose another point. If you look at your total pts. and go back again you'll see that it didn't take one. It just plays the little video of losing a point.

    I was violated by some jerk that didn't like one of my answers. So they waited until I asked a question then WHAMO. Don't let it make you cranky.

    It is best to give answer rather than go on and on. Dont be cranky just never do that again.

    I think i figured it out, anytime you someone reports you under the abuse option yahoo doesnt even check it out. They just remove you or send you a violation.

    I'm guessing the person thought you were insulting them or calling them an idiot, so they reported you? Maybe?
