Is Y/A deleting your answers because of their liberal bias?.?

Here is the question I answered. wether or not you agree with my opinion is not the question. Tell me how it's a violation.

Question: Why all these rants still questioning Obama as an American?

Question Details: He has just been endorsed by Colin Powell. Powell is Republican, the first Secretary of State for George W. Bush, the commander in chief during the first Gulf War, and career military. He could hardly have used stronger terms to endorse Obama. Do you think these rants about Obama's being a terrorist, Muslim, and non-citizen make even a smidgen of sense any longer? Or is it just right-wing racism and hate? Your Vice read right below you.... PS my Vice will be named Joe.... Yeah but if McCain/Palin did what have they got left? I think the only thing they have going for them now is hate. Who agrees? Kabu done deal. Powell endorsed him. Who agrees that is fact? Dlk your absolutely right I guess I just spent the last forty years in defense work and don't have a clue. Most involved the mid-east. I did not learn anything. Who agrees these right wing nutters with their blogs are pathatiec?

Deleted Answer: BHO is the single most unqualified candidate ever.

    The question was a rant. "Right wing racism and hate"? How ironic. This from the party who wants to personally destroy anyone who dares to question the Great Obama.

    The question should have been deleted, not your answer.

    It was deleted because someone reported it. Simple as that.

    Yahoo doesn't monitor all the answers posted and delete the ones they don't like. They delete what gets reported.

    And the response you got is the standard answer we all get.

    There is no "liberal bias" at Yahoo. They delete my questions and answers too, and believe me, I'm no conservative.

    You don't list the reason your answer was deleted, but I would guess "Not a question or answer". You didn't answer the question, you stated a simple opinion. I don't agree with your statement, but you clearly didn't provide enough of a response to be considered a valid "answer".

    Happens to us all.

    And BTW, you can probably expect this question to get deleted too. Asking a question about another question posted here is considered "solicitation" and is against the TOS.

    Rants you call them,truth as we know it....plain and simple

    get over it....I have done my research have you done yours?

    If so, then good ,you are happy with your choice...why ask more questions about it?

    Hate? Racism ?I think you haven't done your homework.

    Was I suppose to vote for him just because Colin Powell endorsed him? OMG!

    I have no clue what their difficulty is. i will tell you this. Y!A is a Truman instruct. They flag you merely as actually as a results of fact the gov't does. They decide who receives 10 factors and who receives 2. They decide who receives to be a wonderful Contributor and who would not. They pull your solutions willy-nilly. You "honest and balanced" suitable-wingers don't get screwed any worse than us liberal "tax and spenders." Get used to it. Freedom of the clicking is constrained to those that very own one.

    Yes, Yahoo is EXTREMELY bias and deletes the most unoffensive answers or questions posted if it doesn't suite their opinions. look at their headlines sometimes on their front page... Like today, they have a story on Palin being bad for McCain. How ridiculous is that? I've had so many questions and answers deleted it's crazy!! Just keep doing what your doing though.

    That's the form letter answer.

    I wonder...has ANYONE on here ever appealed a question/answer removal and WON the appeal?

  • 1 decade ago

    You didn't answer the question "Why all these rants still questioning Obama as an American?" unless you consider "BHO is the single most unqualified candidate ever" an answer. Your answer sounds like a rant.

  • 1 decade ago

    Let me guess: it was "neither a question nor an answer." That's the excuse the Yapoops like to use when they disagree with anti-Obama people. I've gotten a multitude of violations because of my anti-Barry views that I post. Yapoop sucks.

    rod - I actually have. One time. And it was an answer pertaining to history.
