Tasty animals, account suspension, minimum wage Y!A staff?

I got suspended because I said animals to be eaten should be killed quickly and painlessly and eaten medium rare. I did not say pets or anything like that. I got suspended for "hate speech and violence." I am totally against violence, but I do believe in eating meat. I am really disappointed in the Y!A minimum wage staff. Do you think they are in foreign land where they worship the cows I eat? Also, do you eat tasty animals? And do you think they should die quickly and painlessly like I do? Do you think the Yahoo answers staff wants animals to suffer because they think pain makes animals taste better? I just don't get it.

Update:

By the way, I always try to give good answers to questions, and had 8500 points. While I occasionally inject humor into my responses, it is always clear it is humor, and I always give a good answer. In my opinion the losers who mod this site are terrible and probably barely have a grasp of the language

    Unless a violation falls into the 'illegal' category (violation of Terms of Service), suspension is RARELY due to a single violation report. So, you need to address your entire history on the site, and see if the final violation was simply the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

    Now, humor is generally not well received on this site, as I'm sure you know. Even when it is obvious. Often, *especially* when it is obvious. Insulting staff members is also not well received here, and should the staff do a review of your suspension (if/when you appeal, which you SHOULD do), finding this type of belligerent, aggressive behavior as a result of a suspension will NOT make your case look good. In other words, maybe you need to talk a deep breath, reevaluate your reaction and reasses how you REALLY want to handle your situation.
