I can not believe that they censored this posting. What is this, Nazi censorship? There is no adult content in this posting…. I’ll dare them. This is clearly a violation of my 1st amendment civil rights. It is called free speech..

"No, free speech allows you to create your own website with whatever you want on it. Yahoo has the right to censor their website" THEN THEY BETTER CENSOR ALL OFFENSIVE CONTENT, JUST JUST PICK AND CHOOSE.....

This is Yahoo's site so they have a right to kick anyone off who does live up to the standards they put down, just as I have a right to kick someone out of my house for using the N word.
Having said that, I do feel Yahoo is getting too "politically correct." They may have a right to that decision, but I feel they have been making poor choices.
3 Questions I answered recently have been deleted.
"Is Liberalism a SIN or an illness?" I could understand why this was deleted. The last sentence asked if they should all be rounded up and shot. However, he wasn't actually suggestion they be shot so I would have understood if they decided it didn't quite cross the line.
"Are all the Pro-Bush people on Yahoo Answers paid by the GOP?" A stupid question, but I don't understand why it was deleted. I was especially bothered that fact that by deleting his Q, my answer was delated as well.
"Do DummyCraps really care about the right to free speech?" Insulting, yes. But are we going to delete all insults?

No, free speech allows you to create your own website with whatever you want on it. Yahoo has the right to censor their website.

you can object to the fact that you were deleted. I think that if anyone reports you for any reason, valid or invalid, they just delete it. then you must object to get it reviewed.
I have had very innocent things deleted by complaints just because somebody did not like it.
censorship is not permitted by the government in free countries, but any private organization may censor their own stuff. so long as they are not the government. it is the government censorship we fear.

You have a right to free speech but Yahoo is not obligated to carry it on their servers. You don't pay for the servers or the power to run them.
