Why do a lot of anti-McCann questions get deleted by customer services?

I'm quite hard on the McCann's as I feel that they chose to leave their children unattended whilst they went out to socialise, and they paid the ultimate price (well, I suppose Maddie paid the price.)

But whenever there is an anti-McCann question, by the time I've typed my answer and try to submit - I'm told that the question has been removed by Customer Services.

Is this a forum where we can discuss current issues openly - or do they all have to tow the company line....

Update:

p.s. I've never accused the McCann's of anything they don't admit to, namely leaving their kids alone in a hotel room whilst they socialised...

    customer services dont delete the questions the members do if more than one person hits the "report abuse " button the question will be deleted automatically by the computer that runs this site. this site is self policing the public are responsible for who get the questions and answers deleted

    The abuse on this site aimed at them is disgusting, it must deeply affect them and their twins. (all these people who claim to care about kids, dont give a monkeys about their twins). How will you feel if she is found, and you have been accusing these poor people of the most terrible things? I doubt many of those who say nasty things will care because they obviously have lost their conscience. Have some humanity and leave them be.

    they do have to delete questions on very sensitive issues, as if yahoo doesnt then they could come under fire, Remember Yahoo is a company and they dont want anything to jeapodise its profits or popularity

    It's just community users who disagree with you and simply choose to report your content as in violation, whether or not it constitutes a genuine violation.

    I had several anti-Obama questions deleted. I guess a McCain supporter did not like anything anti-McCain just like an Obama supporter didn't like mine.

    Yahoo! have their brand image to uphold and as such cannot be seen to be encouraging negative discussions about people who have had massive media exposure and could potentially bite their asses.

    Although it was wrong of them to leave the kids alone......Your being disrespectful to them and mainly Madeleine!
