Our foreign policy is invasion and occupation and lies, it sucks.
Mad as hell and I'm not gonna' take it anymore. I think our President and Vice President are committing treason and should be shot, not impeached.
Hope that answers your question. Loved the Diana concert today, bravo to England and Wembley. Can we have Harry? I would love someone like him to be our President.

Believe me, Yahoo is totally oblivious. A letter I wrote to them about my "violation"
“Pointless Question” – This answer is a violation in Yahoo Answers?
Why? It is not even remotely close to a violation in the TOS or community guidelines.
Many answers are worse, quite a few are much worse.
If I used this as a guide, I should probably flag 50% of all answers as violations. Is there a limit to the number I should flag?
What is even more irritating is trying to get a real response from you. When I tried to respond through your system via e-mail, all I get is a computer generated form letter supposedly from a person And I specifically asked not to get a form letter. When I called I was told that there is no phone number at Yahoo Answers. That is an outright and blatant lie. You just don’t want to give it out.
So how do I complain about this insanity?
When there is a serious breech of trust where people use violation reports as weapons, what recourse is there?
Do you even care to fix what is becoming a serious problem?
Do you even want to know about problems?
Using this as a benchmark, if this is really a violation, what about the thousands of others?
Please do not send a form letter
Please answer my questions and provide a phone number of a person that can actually handle a complaint.
Reinstate my answer.

quote your post
"I reported this as soon as it hit"
don't do that....
re the rest....
I don't think Yahoo Moderators are Americans....
their English might be good....maybe even unaccented ....
but they don't have the hang of idiomatic English and slang.....
"TWIT" is a very mild term.....
the MODERATOR in INDIA or where ever they are did not know what twit meant.
when in doubt delete.
twit(twt)
tr.v. twit·ted, twit·ting, twits
To taunt, ridicule, or tease, especially for embarrassing mistakes or faults. See Synonyms at ridicule.
n.
1. The act or an instance of twitting.
2. A reproach, gibe, or taunt.

twit doesn't seem like a strong term to be applied to the asker in question.
but the moderators don't know that.

Give me a break. His answer was rhetorical in nature, albeit a little over the top. While I may not agree with what he said, he obviously is somewhat in control of himself if he was able to make a calm statement about Diana. Of course, he clearly doesn't realized that no matter how charming Prince Harry is he could never become our President -- he wasn't born in the USA!
By the way, I agree with Yahoo's decision to remove your answer. Nothing is accomplished by name calling in a debate forum.

Name calling is against Yahoo Answers Terms of Service Agreement.
Come back when you're a grown up.

it's not the that the yahoo staff is biased either way. Someone hit the "report abuse" link on your answer. That's all it takes to get it deleted. There is no thought or judgment call on yahoo's part.
