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

Question

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.

Yahoo staff don't have a lot of involvement in what gets nuked. It got removed because one or more people reported it, likely because they disagree with you and don't think a thumbs-down is enough. 

I mean, theoretically, it could have been considered to be neither a question nor an answer, since it's more of a statement than a response, BUT still not reportable in my opinion.

And, whether it's a consolation or an insolence, the site staff don't read appeals, either. That's the form letter everyone gets. There are rumours of posts and questions being restored, but that's after about six attempts. 

I like Obama, but I'm on your side on this.

I have no clue what their problem is. I will tell you this. Y!A is a Truman Show. They flag you just as surely as the gov't does. They decide who gets 10 points and who gets 2. They decide who gets to be a Top Contributor and who doesn't. They pull your answers willy-nilly. You "fair and balanced" right-wingers don't get screwed any worse than us liberal "tax and spenders." Get used to it. Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.
