Oh! I forgot. Freedom of press/speech is only for the owners of the press. My favorite bible scripture. " the inaliable right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness.
Yahoo censors. Quit your job. You are being used for very little money and a very big negative.

You need to read the Constitution. Freedom of speech refers to government censorship. Yahoo owns this site and can do what it wants. You are free to leave or not.
Freedom of speech does not mean Yahoo has to provide a platform for profanity, or stupidity, or anything else.
Is it OK for me to come in your house and spew anything I like and you have to listen and feed me dinner?

The Constitution protects you from _government_ censorship. But in that same first amendment, along with the right to free expression, is also the right to free association. What does that mean? It means that the owner of a home or business has the right to make rules governing the behavior of others while on that property, and others then have a choice as to whether to associate with you or not.
For instance if you were a parent with small kids and one of your houseguests started swearing up a storm in front of them, you'd have every right to tell them to leave. Likewise if you ran some website and some user came on and spammed, trolled, talked about stuff totally irrelevant to your site's purpose, swore, defamed you, or simply said things you didn't like, then it is within your rights to give that user the boot.
In short, freedom of speech says you have the right to say your piece, but it does not guarantee you an audience.

Yes, I think that Yahoo should spend not just a little bit of time, but a LOT of time reading the Constitution, because quite frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of my blog entries being censored by them almost every other day.

Well, if I started a website, I'd feel free to establish rules for what could be posted there and to enforce them. There's no viloation of the constitution there. One of the wonderful things about the internet is that you don't need money to publish. Just start a site of your own and you can say absolutely anything you want.

It is not people you are dealing with, if anyone reports abuse the Yahoo Computers simply delete your input. Simple yet infuriating.
