Deleted Question: A metaphor for Y!A perhaps?
Question Details: "Through me is the way into the woeful city; through me is the way into eternal woe; through me is the way among the lost people. Justice moved my lofty maker: the divine Power, the supreme Wisdom and the primal Love made me. Before me were no things created, unless eternal, and I eternal last. Abandon hope, all ye who enter here!"

I noticed while posting it that if you ask a question, and then put Dante's Inferno canto 3 in the Question details box, there are exactly 666 characters left, copy and paste it if you don't believe me.
Reason of Violation:Not a Question or Answer
Did someone have a little trouble getting the metaphor?

To those who say it wasn't a question, the question is whether or not Dante's Inferno, canto 3, is a metaphor for Y!A. That is as valid a question as any other that I've seen on this site.

90% of the questions and answers in R&S are "not questions or answers." At least not valid ones.
The section is supposed to be about (e.g.):
What is the Euchrist?
And then you're supposed to supply valid answers, which can vary based on your sectarian beliefs.
Questions like: Why do you follow a fiction book?
Is not a valid question. No library or book chains defines the Bible or Quran as a fiction book, hence it's not a valid question.
A valid question: Why do you beleive in the Bible?
And that would get varied answers. A valid answer would include:
I don't, I'm an atheist
However saying
I don't follow fiction books
Would be invalid, because it can't be justified by community and society standards.
Yahoo has now got a NEW tactic. They are turning ANSWERS to INVALID QUESITIONS into violations. Hence ANYONE answering an INVALID question loses points, gets notices and if they get too many, their account gets suspsended.
So, they are hoping NO ONE will answer invalid questions out of fear of getting the axe.
Behaviorism in action. Lovely science! They ZAP you each time you do something wrong until you eventually FEAR it so much you look at the question really carefully and LEARN the community standards by heart.
Yahoo is a God, they have a Bible and YOU must follow that BIBLE to the letter or you get zapped.

Dante could not have dreamed up a better "hell" than what has been mans history. Are you implying that this site is the "hell' that was always foretold? WOW. COOL! Maybe 666 simply means, 6.66 billion people. Just a thought.

That is a very good question. I believe that Y!A did not like your question because it challenges their authority.
By the way I get the metaphor. lol

That is not a question. I get the metaphor, but it still isn't a question.

I had a couple of violation notices this morning that made no sense. Don't take them too seriously.
Wouldn't it be fun to mail a box of turds in a cookie container to Y!A headquarters?
