Someone asked a question about the election stating that they didn't want Obama....?
to be elected. My answer was "Vote Clinton". That is all I said. YA deleted it as a violation calling it a "rant". I appealed and Elizabeth turned down my appeal. They also deleted the question. Why are so many questions and/or answers deleted that don't favor Baracka Huessin Obama? Why the censorship?

Being that Yahoo is just a big computer with no actual people working there, the reports just go into a program, at some pre determined point, the question gets deleted. No one actually looks at the so called violation. It's just some idiot reporting it because they don't agree with some one, and the computer program deleting it.

Good question!
They have deleted a few of my answers.
I have had a few that my response to the question was, "Go take your meds!" and they said I did not address the question
I don't know but I suspect that your observation may be accurate. My resonses were inplied, the message to the asker was, You are crazy, and that kind of talk is crazy! It was sarcastic responding. I went and read the rules and if you do that and look at the questions that are allowed to be posted you will be amazed.
I initially was going to protest their deleting my answers and taking points away; however I said, It's Yahoo, It's not as if my life is invested in it. I believe if a question or answer does not contain threats or very gross profanity - leave it alone.
I suspect I will soon not even bother getting on here, because I believe you may be correct,
The speech police are out to get us! and yes it does appear they are pro- O'bomber! oops, probably gonna get spanked for that one!
Hey, I am still not Fonda Jane! or Obama.
