I am in violation and there is no link to appeal, what do you think?

I received a violation notice and there is no link in the notice for me to appeal. You be the judge, should my answer have been removed:

Question: Which side do you think Obama will take in Egypt's civil war?

Deleted Answer: Give him a chance, right now he's got his finger in his mouth and when he pulls it out he will put it above his head and see which way the wind is blowing.

Violation Reason: Misuse of the question and answer format

    I have had many questions removed. I have appealed all of them and have never had one reinstated. I have never even had a response to an appeal. Every question that was deleted was critical of Barack Obama. None were vulgar or unreasonable.

    Were the words "Customer Care" in the email highlighted in BLUE? If so, that is your appeal link. If not, you may use this alternative link:

    However, I wouldn't bother. Your "answer" was not truly an answer to the question, was it? It was a critical comment made to express your opinion without providing any useful information for anybody. Which is a violation. Of course, the question itself is a borderline chatting violation, which is part of the problem. But that doesn't excuse giving a snarky, non-helpful non-answer.

    Well, given the 'answer' you posted, it was not an actual attempt to answer the question but to make a statement on how Obama governs. Mind you, I don't like him either, so I would think your answer was fine. But there are many people out there who are waaaaaaaaaaaay too sensitive! I've had a number of violations and each one causes me to roll my eyes and lament how pussified our society has become.
