Why does YAHOO ANSWERS stand up for someone putting down My beliefs yet punish me when I am telling my side?

I just got a violation notice. Now I wouldn't mind if I knew I was in the wrong, but the one who reported me was 13 and had no idea of the misinformation she was spreading. I am sure I wasn't the only one who got the notice, but she also did not include all the information. I was polite when I could have given her one for sounding like a bigot. I do not put down others because of their beliefs, but I also do not ignore false information. With this violation I can see why many longtime participants have been leaving in droves. I think YAHOO ANSWERS should rethink their violation orders and dig deeper before giving anyone a violation notice or erasing answers fill with real facts.

Update:

I appealed and all I got was a confirmation that I was in violation, I know I wasn't. I know the guidelines. It is just so frustrating!

    I completely agree with you. And my answer is simply because we have ethics and they don't. We listen politely to their rants without reporting them, and when it's our turn we get reported, and Y!A doesn't do anything about it.

    It's a poor system if you ask me, and Y!A is violating our rights as users!

    It is sad that violations are issued without more in-dept research into then. I have received violations for actually quoting part of the question, but it was reversed when I appealed it and brought that to the attention of the ones that deal with this sort of thing,

    As far as attempting to make others of different beliefs be accepting, it is a waste of time. Those who are closed minded really do not honor what they say they believe in. At best when I cannot resist responding to stupidity I simply say that they have a right to believe as they choose and I am willing to fight for that right - are they willing to fight for mine? It usually shuts them up.

    Total agreement. I no longer participate in Y!A as I once did. If I do, it is in categories where I seek information, need an answer to a medical or otherwise non-religious question. Seems children with no clue have taken over the spiritual category. Shame on Y!A for allowing it.

    I also agree with you. In my experience with Yahoo Answers, I have seen many young people complain using inaccurate facts. I have also see so many ugly, inconsiderate, bigoted, ignorant answers or complaints. Yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion; however, word choices and/or excuses commonly used now are truly inappropriate and unintelligent.

    that's unfastened! unquestionably, your non-perception (or perception) in God is punctiliously devoid of punishment. some human beings p.c. to have self belief no God exists. Jesus isn't who the Bible says he's, it is your option to have self belief or no longer. there is not any punishment for making the alternative. permit me say that back, there is not any punishment for no longer believing in God. if fact be advised, the “punishment” is for what we did with our existence mutually as on the earth. existence has its very own judgment, and its very own end. I don’t understand approximately you, yet I don’t desire to finally end up airborne dirt and dirt for something of eternity when I die. i desire to stay. And the only I thank you to get there is to have self belief in Jesus. we've unfastened will, it’s a call. the place do you desire to bypass after dying is the problem here. we ought to remember, our earthly non-perception if Jesus isn't the project. we've been given a life-time of unfastened will. the problem is, we are being judged because of the fact what God stated he will do (after existence ends and dying lives), would be carried out. So, its no secret we are people who p.c. (via our very own will and want) to obey the flesh. That selfishness is to p.c. dying. people who p.c. via their very own will and desire to obey the Spirit - p.c. existence. it particularly is why i think God exists in Spirit. that's God is and could be me (our) choose. i will make certain the kind you somebody could have self belief that i visit be held responsible to God for my techniques, my words and my movements. all of us (if we've self belief it or no longer) will stand in the previous the Judgment Seat. Make no mistake, we are able to all provide account of our existence to God. regrettably, human beings want is to stay with their very own will. it particularly is why existence seems so confusing and painful on the earth. a protracted time in the past, i made a determination to obey God's Will, no longer my very own. perhaps you probably did too. the project is maximum persons fail to obey God's Will (regardless of all attempt). the stable information is the Judgment Day sentence of dying that I deserve - has already been paid. somebody else suffered my punishment, so I don’t have too. yet that does no longer mean, i will sin devoid of repercussions. each thought, be conscious and action is judged to make certain its fruit. while God examines my fruit, i desire Him to make certain I’ve been graphed into His Vine - Jesus Christ.
