Why would someone delete my Kumbaya question?

Gee, I missed it. I must have been busy appealing a violation or something.

Anyways, I'm feeling a little beaten up today, so what the heck.....

Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya

Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya

Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya

Oh lord, kumbaya

Someone's singing lord, kumbaya

Someone's singing lord, kumbaya

Someone's singing lord, kumbaya

Oh lord, kumbayah

Someone's laughing, lord, kumbaya

Someone's laughing, lord, kumbaya

Someone's laughing, lord, kumbaya

Oh lord, kumbaya

[Kumbaya lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Someone's crying, lord, kumbaya

Someone's crying, lord, kumbaya

Someone's crying, lord, kumbaya

Oh lord, kumbaya

Someone's praying, lord, kumbaya

Someone's praying, lord, kumbaya

Someone's praying, lord, kumbaya

Oh lord, kumbaya

Someone's sleeping, lord, kumbaya

Someone's sleeping, lord, kumbaya

Someone's sleeping, lord, kumbaya

Oh lord, kumbaya

Oh lord, kumbaya

Don't be shy, let's all sing a long!!!

Yes, I got my question "how can we make this a better forum" deleted as well.. Have no idea why.. isn't that a question? I went on to say that, in light of the apologies/attempts to cool down, I listed some specific things I'd like to see change in how we deal with each other, then asked for other people's suggestions

it was reported for chatting

So if a person says "What are some colors" and STARTS a list by saying I know orange, red, and blue are, what are some others.. THat is considered chatting? Why? because the asker started the list??

I don't get the hatred here..

I certianly would have not reported a question like yours

What can we do about all the hatred..

Wow- how sad. I just wanted to say that I did not report it, nor do I feel it should have been reported. I have had several questions and/or answers deleted that I don't feel should have been (and some that probably should have been) so I know how unfair that feels- you just try to put something out there, with a little heart in it, and bam! Somebody obviously disagrees with it.

I'd like to add I have seen an improvement today and am loving the respectful answers around here. Thank you to all of you who are keeping up with your apologies.

**I didn't sing yesterday, but if it's okay, I think I will today:

Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya

Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya

Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya

Oh lord, kumbaya

Oh, and since Shelly mentioned chatting. How is ANYTHING on Yahoo not possibly chatting? I never understood that 'reason' for having questions or answers deleted. Especially since I happen to be a more 'conversational' typer- you can 'hear' me talk when you read what I write.

Ah man! I didn't get a chance to sing! I saw it and it was cute. You get such a limited view of people on here that it is great when you get a peak at the fun side of everyone. Axing Kumbaya? How low can you go?

Yesterday WAS an interesting day on this site. There were several posts, like yours, intended and needed to lighten the atmosphere. Under the circumstances it was appreciated by me.

I guess someone who does not have a sense of humor had happy report fingers. It's too bad because now and then we all need a laugh and should cut each other a break from the RULES.

ETA: I also had an apology deleted a few months ago.

Sorry to hear ~ some people have no sense of humour!

The worst thing about having your Q/A reported/deleted is that although they say you have the right to appeal your appeal is rarely read, or if so, not replied to...

Feels like you're talking to the walls when pleading your case really!

you mean to tell me someone deleted your question? However, you have to understand , that even if reported it is yahoo answers that finalizes the deletion- so maybe you need to ask them. Just a thought, every time I have tried to bring some peace to an issue, either here or in Religion section, I have been reported.

Please forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't you also have a post about saying happy birthday to your daughter? And wasn't that too erased?

Nothing was wrong with either post. Personally I would appeal it.I would say that someone has a beef with you & doesnt have the balls to approach you the right way & is instead doing some back stabbing

I didn't report either.

You know, it's possible that Yahoo! simply deleted the questions on their own without them being reported. They have done that before.

Rotten apples, all those who reported. They are the same folks that thumbs down certain folks just because they don't like them.

FYI, It was funny, I saw that and was humming Kumbaya all day! Thanks for lightening the mood yesterday!

EDIT: Go, Red, Go! Now, I am doing it all over again! I had a verse for my niece who fought sleep like no tomorrow . . . Someone's sleeping, My Lord . . . and so on . . . you can add anything you want there too . . . Someone's smilin . . . Someone's forgivin and forgettin . . . (Anoyone play the guitar?)
