Violation deletion, is this an irony or a philosophical conundrum?

Is it a double or single irony that an answer to -

"If you could change only 1 thing in your life, what would it be?" said

"Answering this question."

and that answer was then deleted as a violation and therefore that 1 thing in life was (in part) changed.

How cool is that?

And does it count as a retrospective change in my life. So I should thank the violaotion reporter person for changing my life :)

Fess up - your sense of irony humbles me - bonus 10pts for thee :@

Update:

I am smiling - I am not angry - I don't understand why it was a violation and I don't really care. Is a truthful answer a violation of guidelines?

Update 2:

And OMG - you are so right - My one thing to change has been deleted NOT changed. So now I don't have a '1 thing' to change and must seek it out.

    I won't get 10 points for this answer, but I love your attitude. My heart goes out to you. Since your one thing to change in your life answer was removed, now you'll have to post another question asking for advice on what to change in your life. Ironic, isn't it? Life, apparently, is a vicious circle. Good Luck!

    I'm going to say it's a philosophical conundrum because that sounds way cooler than just ironic. I don't understand how it's a violation either, as you answered the question that was asked and it WAS a PERSONAL OPINION question. I guess the person who had your answer deleted was either granting your wish, being amusing or was just--well never mind, I don't need another violation myself.

    It is ironic that the one thing U could change has now been taken away from U -- seek out a new "one thing" so U can get on with your life! God speed!!!
