Woodchucks chucking wood vs Mucky ducks plucking muck. Can you explain?

Why is it that wood chucking woodchucks and show up several times a week (there are almost 3,000 of them if you do a search), yet one original question about muck plucking mucky ducks gets a violation, a deletion, and a points deduction.

How is that possible? Did I step on too many woodchuck toes? Seriously, I'm completely perplexed.

    I report the wood chuck every time I see it. It's annoying and totally rude to the people who are here to help. Most of the time, the questions stays. I heard it takes two reports to get a question revoked. In your case, I guess two people found it annoying enough to report it. Regardless, if you post a question or response that you know is a violation, expect to get it. I've posted a few "rant" answers when I'm having a bad day...I expect violations and I get them. I knew what I was doing, so I just accept it. If you really don't think it's fair, start reporting "wood chucks". They deserve it.
