Question

A poster asked a question, which I feel was legitimate and didn't breach any t&cs, and the question got removed.  It had to do with whether people felt Obama reminded them of MLK.

It was not posed in a racial context, but in terms of Obama's oratory.

If someone poses a legitimate, non-defamatory question which does not infringe anyone's rights and does not in any way qualify for the obscenity or hatred exclusions, then why would the moderators delete it?

If someone takes offense to a question, then it is fair that they can ask to have it removed.  However, it is the job of the moderators to carefully analyse whether the question should be removed or not.  It is not the moderators' job to remove all questions which perhaps one person objects to, for dubious reasons.  In fact, in the context that the question is actually a question, the removal is unconstitutional.

Does anybody else on here think "coercive forces" are at work here?

Questions are removed automatically, if they recive enough violations, then YA alleges one can appeal, but it's a pretty futile process. 

Some people on here just get off by hitting the report button. It wouldn't surprise me if those who reported it are Hilary supporters. Funny how after she won the NH primary all sorts of bandwagon Hilary supporters come out of the woodwork. Thing that make you go Hmmmm?

There is nothing wrong with that question, but it can lead to discussion and thoughts that are irrelavant to the candidate and election, while possibly effecting the election outcome...kind-of like Oprah supporing him...totally irresponsible
