Did my account get suspended for protesting Yapoo and I don't even know it?

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Answers.

We appreciate your inquiry about your suspension from Yahoo! Answers

and/or the deactivation of your Yahoo! ID. We reviewed your case, and

decided that your account is not eligible for reinstatement.

Once an account is disabled for a violation of the Terms of Service,

the

subscriber to the account will lose the ability to log in and access

the

account and its contents (including email and content stored with any

other Yahoo! service). The account also will not be reactivated.

Should you choose to create a new Yahoo! account, we invite you to read

the Yahoo! Terms of Service and Yahoo! Community Guidelines to help

ensure your new account is not deactivated.

I protest. This is not a violation of TOS. Animals, Have a cigar and

Wish you were here are all compositions by the band Pink Floyd. Why on

Earth would this get removed?

Thanks for your swift attention in this matter.

    Yahoo is currently being ran by inbred goats who can't read, this is leading to some people being deleted and/or not deleted and told they are deleted and/or being ravaged by wolves and/or being given a severe talking to. If you wish to talk to a customer service rep we have trained seals who can answer the phone but are unable to speak available 24 hours a day.

    Sorry I have a hard time with Orwellian New Speak. I think they said, "Your account is suspended, and we have always been at war with Eastasia."

    Be careful not to read this too much or you might end up killing your grandfather before you were born, and then Al Gore won't invent the Internet.

    Is this some kind of multiple choice? Then I choose:

    5. You deleted the question or answer yourself.

    This is a nice example of communication failure.

    "Should you choose to create a new Yahoo account . . . "

    That's a switch. So Yahoo is admitting that they want you to create a new account. Ugh, Yahoo speak with forked tongue. Should you choose to create a new Yahoo account, please review our Terms of Service where it says you violate the Terms of Service if you create a new Yahoo account. Chase that tail Fido.

    very, very well done! wow, those yahoo people sure pay the utmost attention to emails dont they.

    but, you have to understand they're alot of Habib's, and the pink floyd references were lost on them.
