I posted a question earlier that I deleted soon thereafter because when I saw the rules about not linking to sites that slander people, I realized that slander is relative. It related to our current dictator in office, and I know the links I put in would be considered slanderous by the establishment. What a crackpot we have been living in. Let's wake up!

Because this isn't a "public forum". It's a controlled environment provided by Yahoo! and they can set the rules as they wish.
If you want to use it, follow them.
If you don't want to follow the rules, find another place for your speech.
And remember, slander has to be directed toward an individual and parody is protected. Slander isn't easy to prove, so it's not really that big of a deal. Just make sure that the sight you're going to link to isn't making unprovable statements about an individual - that's slanderous. If there are sources to back it up, then it isn't slander. If it's clearly parody, then it isn't slander.
It's really not that big a deal.

Depends on the content of your question. President BUSHhas been a
excellant man in the White House and is a hell of a lot better than Hanoi John Kerry and Billy-boy "Slick Willie" Clintoon and his butt-hole buddy algo're.
