Why does Yahoo Answers allow people to lie in questions and then block people that would point this out?

Many of the questions in Global Warming are based on lies and asked by people anonymously. If the questions were real, shouldn't everyone be allowed to answer them?

As it is, these are fake questions being used only for propaganda purposes.

Update:

The category was changed, probably by one of the same people that posts the propaganda anonymously. If this happens again it will be reported.

    I like you dislike anon question and answers, it enables people to say false statements and lies, and blocking ensures only those who agree get to answer.

    Not much we can do about this, as that is how Yahoo is arranged.

    What I do though is expose any anon answers to my questions, because their real name is shown to my yahoo mail
