The Removal of Questions from this Forum ? A question of mine has been removed from this forum. Why ?
Two days ago I placed a question on this forum. It has been deleted by Yahoo Answers. Is the mere asking of a question fair and reasonable grounds for deleting it ?
The question was on religious freedom and liberty. It showed that Roman Catholicism is both intolerant of religious freedom and of the liberty of conscience - this contrary to the constitution of the USA - according to its own (papal) teachings. I was fined 9 points and my question was deleted. I have appealed. But is such action fair and reasonable ?

Yes everybody should be made to stand behind their questions and answers, if they are offensive then the writters should be held accountable. This system is an easy one.... It takes somebody complaining about a question or answer to get it highlighted, once highlighted if there is evidence that the abuse is real then the question or answer is removed. You can appeal it and justify why it isn't abusive under the terms of the guidelines, but few bother since they know they have done wrong.....
I'm guessing that since this is the second question that you have asked regarding this that you are feeling pretty hard done by over this.... well I wish you the best of luck with the appeal
BTW have you tried discussing this on the Y!A Next forum?

I have become more and more disappointed by Yahoo's censorship over the past few weeks.
It seems that satire is unacceptable, and freedom of speech a thing of the past. I'm in the UK where as onlookers we can discuss the change from The Republic of the USA to the now Police State of The USA and see how Germany went the same way in the early 1900's.
You even have your own version of the Fatherland (Homeland) Security with it's stated aims. You have handed over victory to the Terrorists that attacked us all on 9/11 by legitimising abduction, transportation and Torture of your suspects.
So what chance freedom of speech or expression now? None!

No, I don't think it's fair and reasonable, as I happen to agree with you regarding the teachings of the RC church - and I was reared a Catholic.
As an institution, it's misogynisitic, patriarchal and hypocritical and has been a hiding place for the true sexual deviants of this world, those who prey on the innocent and the unprotected.
But luckily there are been RC priests and servants who have always understood that the church was meant to serve the people, and they do what they can to bridge the gap between the impersonal coldness that is behind the institution and the reality of our human and spiritual needs. A lonely and difficult vocation.

I have had answers deleted. Its all due to the content. Although, they seem to let a lot through as well. I guess if some one spots a "bad" question or answer, it will get deleted.

Read the damn guidelines. Obviously they chose to remove it if they felt it didn't fall within the simple rules they want us to follow. Remember, WE are GUESTS here.

The problem with those people is that they were offended and appalled by the fact that not EVERYONE loves Jesus.
