All I did was ask 2 questions, asking, "who said this quote...?" It was two quotes one of Early Church Father Origen and another of Einstein and somehow I violated the terms. HOW???

Who said this quote..?
About scriptures, “But all the narrative portion, relating either to the marriages, or to the begetting of the children, or to battles of different kinds, or to any other histories whatever, what else can they be supposed to be, save the forms and figures of hidden and sacred things? As men, however, make little effort to exercise their intellect, or imagine that they possess knowledge before they really learn, the consequence is that they never begin to have knowledge; or if there be no want of a desire, at least, nor of an instructor, and if divine knowledge be sought after, as it ought to be, in a religious and Holy Spirit, and in the hope that many points will be opened up by the revelation of God -- since to human sense they are exceedingly difficult and obscure -- then, perhaps, he who seeks in such a manner will find what it is lawful to discover”. HINT It was an early very prominent figure of the Church pre-4th century. WIN the 10 points gogogo!

The flags were waving.
Either someone didn't understand the original question and thought it was a slur on religion or they were just jerks.

If someone flags you, you get deleted. It's not read by yahoo to determine if it was fair or not. It's an automatic thing. Why would someone flag the question then? Just to be a jerk obviously.
