I was told by Yahoo Answers Abuse above my posting of “Jason W. Ask “For those that do not believe in God. What is the solution to all the problems we see today? WAR?”, was not liked by others. After posting my last post, I went home and made a flyer of that page to fax (503-378-6827) to Governor Ted Kulongoski of Oregon. With a side note on it saying “If the truth were told, how my case got from the congregation to the church/state of other faiths, did the state unknowingly sin against my unique form of faith and me needlessly?” Now with my fight to get my case expunged and no money, I need a form like Yahoo Answers not to get in my way of my constitutional freedom of speech! I need the Governor to see my wise choice to live by my faith’s therapy over the state’s which I was doing before it ended up illegally in the state’s hands! NOW, can we get answers-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com to give me their contact fax, phone, address, to their legal area? After all, our God give us all freedom!

Cootersgirltwo said below, "it`s not so much as yahoo as it is (idiots that report you when ever they don`t like a question you ask or an answer that doesn`t suit them..) but you don`t have freedom of speech nor opinion on yahoo questions and answers...and that's a shame.. " Does not a library fight people who want to take some books away from the public use because someone does not like that book(s)? I work from a public library because I do not have Internet at home. I am only BOLD about what I know about religion and their bad influence on goverement without saying ALL religion is bad. But any time you put religion in goverement busines you put fire in it for war and fighting. It might look like it is doing some good but look deeper and you will see that is not in truth true! Is that too BOLD for us ALL to think about? Will this get kicked off for my BOLD NEEDED free speech? Take a good look at 9ll day and ask what was the main reason for those men being willing to die? Just to die?

You're a nutter in need of a rubber room.
Free speech - you have. Doesn't mean people have to listen to you. Yahoo! is not a forum for people to rant and rave and say anything they like without censure - the users do the editing, not Yahoo!. You can't come into my home and spout nonsense without being tossed out on your ear - same here.

regrettably, hate speech is and can be secure by ability of the regulations ensuring freedom of speech. what's defined as 'hate speech' differs in line with a guy or woman's political dispositions, etc. There are some circumstances of it that maximum folk can agree on (I.e. prolonged family contributors rallies interior the U. S.). a good style of the time, even nonetheless, that's subjective. the assumption of unfastened speech is predicated upon the presumption that overly hateful rhetoric won't seize the feelings of a good style of the final public. It additionally insures that folk could have their say in a public communicate board so as that our subculture's ideologies do no longer advance static. Professing which you probably did no longer have self belief in a God was classed as one among those hate speech. Now, everybody has freedom to particular their recommendations related to religion. i do no longer think of the different element of existence must be diverse.

Constitutionally protected freedom of speech and what you can say in a forum that's owned by a large business concern are two different things entirely.
Have you read Yahoo's Terms of Service? The lawyers you want to talk to would surely point you there first.

Sigh. I clicked "Show me another" and it gave me this person. I guess you cannot have high expectations on every click. ;-)
The U.S. Constitution does not protect your right to free speech on a privately own website. Create your own website and then whine when the server provider asks you to move somewhere else. Eventually, buy your own server and purchase your own private connection to the internet and all the other legal mumbo-jumbo needed and repost the tragedy that is your life.
No-one will visit, but man...you WILL have your free speech.
Speak up a storm!
LOL

Freedom of speech is covered in the First Ammendment to the US Constitution. I think everyone knows that.
However, what most people don't seem to realize is the US Constitution was written to protect the people from the government. It does not protect people from other people.
Yahoo is not a government entity, and the laws of the constitution do not apply. They are a private business and reserve the right to determine, on thier own, what is acceptable and what is not.
Read the terms and conditions. If you don't agree, don't post.

You have no freedom of speech on Yahoo forums -- it is a private forum, and like all private forms, is not subject to constitutional protections.
The constitution only protects against GOVERNMENT censorship -- private forums are free to limit what they want, however they want.
So, your communications with your state governor, and the governor's actions -- those are constitutional issues.
But nothing requires Yahoo to make its private forums available to everyone on an equal basis. So, they have their own terms of service -- and can enforce them however they like.
Because -- unlike the govt and unlike govt laws -- if we don't like what Yahoo does we can always opt-out and go somewhere else.

Ted Kulongowski has more things to worry about than your hurt feelings.
We have measure 40 coming up, measure 50 as well.
I would rather he spend his time on issues like these that effect the state as a whole, not one measly person. He is far too busy to bother with your vendetta against Y/A.
If you hate it that much, why not stop using it?
You accepted the Y/A terms of service by clicking "I agree" before you started. It is too late to get all huffy now!
Sorry, that's life.

umm what exactly does your faith require that the state considers illegal?
im only asking you a question because your question does not really seem like a question at all.
