Why was my "Atheists are correct" question removed?? How was that offensive?
Maybe because I called them know-it-alls?? Are you kidding me?

Actually I said it's because their know-it-alls, right?

I didn't see the question, however:

Even if it's a statement, you have to answer it in a question mark in order to fool the Powers-That-Be into thinking it's a question. The Powers-That-Be are not very bright, you see, and think that if it ends in that little squiggly thing with the dot on the end, then it must be a question. Also, if someone hits the "Report Abuse" button, it will be deleted even if it is not the least bit abusive. As far as the Powers-That-Be are concerned, being offended equates to being abused, even though usually this is not the case and the one feeling offended can simply choose not to read whatever it is they find offensive. Getting one's feelings hurt is not the same as being abused. But you know, this IS Yahoo, and nobody is allowed to ever have their feelings hurt.

The arbiters of Yahoo Answers are not known to be consistent.
It seems arbitrariness plays a large role.

It's cowardly BS to report a question. If someone doesn't like it, they should just move on to the next one.
And, BTW, we atheists really do know it all ;-)

be prepared to back up your address book...the people on here are not kidding...if they delete your question a few times they delete your name...you will have to make a new one and lose everything associated with this one.

"atheists are correct" is a statement, not a question - that is probably why it was removed...

Lots of stuff gets removed. I wouldn't worry about it. I certainly didn't report it.

It was most likely because it was not a question.
