When is a violation in fact censoring?

I have seen questions removed for all sorts of reasons, but in the religious/spirtuality section it seems to be about an infringement on a belief system.

Isn't the point about religious dogma it will not be questioned or criticised.

    Technically, the removal of any material is censorship.

    I dunno how many times this question has been asked.

    I am a Christian.

    I have gotten violations.

    One or two of them, I did NOT deserve, but, MOST of the time, when I looked back at what I had posted, I could see where I was in the wrong.

    What it basically comes down to, is that in this kind of forum (more than in, say, pets, or auto mechanics, we must use our heads and try NOT to offend people just because they don't think the same way we do.

    I'm sure that the Yamster has nightmares thinking about this forum.

    I know I would HATE to be the one responsible for deciding what is, and what is NOT "over the top" around here...

    Because Yahoo seems to kiss every Conservatives ass on here

    A question was asked "what do I do with a pineapple"

    my answer was "bend over I'll show ya" and yahoo removed it. But another question Was "do you think Candice Parker is hot" the Best answer was "i'll stick it in her butt" which answer is more offensive ?

    On a site like Y!A they can make up guidelines and remove you if you break them.

    You can certainly sue them....but really this is just for entertainment.

    Religion is subject to criticism. Period.
