Why do they delete it? freedom of speech?

Well, freedom of speech does not mean that you have the right to insult other people !!!

I actually removed it myself, because I wasn't happy with the way I worded it. Sorry for the confusion.
However, they do penalise you for the silliest things though, yet allow racist, homophobic and inflammatory comments to remain.
I'll reword it and post it later.
Thanks for your support though.

The main problem is that it was reported by some report happy person, yahoo doesn't bother to check the questions before it deletes them...

Theres no rhyme or reason behind their deleteing I think they do it randomly .They`ve started deleting questions of mine that were resolved over two months ago and i don`t ask anything vile vulgar or deliberatly insulting ,but some people are insulted by anything it`s pathetic .

Well,I personally say,FREEDOM OF SPEECH LEADS TO OFFENDING RELIGONS AND RACISM.Happend to me on rs2 fourms,when someone had his little 5 min of freedom of speech,then BAM just like that,it was a flame war,The post was "Religions should die" If you heard this posters comment you would want to think freedom of speech is just tooooo tradgic.I belive it should be banned from ALL SITES.Its just too harmful.

Yahoo have no right to delete anything unless they find it offensive, then they have every right to do so as it is their sight to censor what you may say. I agree with yahoo if they censor offensive words...we do not need to go down that road as we can make a point without using profanities.

They make no money from this site, so they spend no money on real people to staff it, it's all done by robots. Somebody reported me for describing them as - wait for it - self absorbed! This insult was too great to be borne, apparently, so they reported me to the robots and I lost 10 points ! My life is ruined ! :)

Check again or use the search engine if you didn't answer the question. It probably got bumped to the next page or two since hundreds of thousands of people visits these boards every hour. I've said quit a few things about the true Roman pagan origin of Christmas and about the missing books of the old and new testatment that weren't included in the cannonized books. Those posts are still around for the past few weeks. The only thing that is censored is profanity from what I've seen.

edit: Or the original poster could have deleted the post as the guy above me said. :)

With freedom comes responsibility, so some remark etc will usually be removed. Ironically, some Daily Express and Mail commemts would probably fall foul of the rules.

Any body has a right to say what ever he wants , unless his views attack the christian day , so I think no one will accept despite I am Muslim so I have to respect the christmas day when the jesus was born and we as Muslims believe in Jesus also .

It their game and we play by their rules, what ever they are.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'm not so sure they even look at what they delete. Somebody decides to go on a rampage, it's anonymous, and you lose what could be a very good question or answer. The only thing I ever reported was the ad-bots, not real people.

In any case, I wanted a small chest-type freezer so I could make up my own frozen dinners. I have to stay offf the salt. Did you ever look at the salt content in frozen dinners? It's ridiculous. And then there are the "healthy" dinners that cut out fat, and jack the salt up even more! So it would be nice to have the same opportunity everyone else does, to grab something out of the freezer and nuke it.

I believe we shouldn't write things in Papers to purposely insult people, but some things i don't are insulting.

if we have freedom of speech please tell me one UK newspaper that showed us the cartoons of who the Muslims believe is a prophet? This is not an attack on Islam but a standard news report.

Monica Alis filming in Brick Lane cancelled. Was not even anything to do with Islam, but Muslims still protested.

A leading opera house called off a production of Mozart's "Idomeneo" because of fear of Muslim protest.

To be honest I'm getting bored of reading books and seeing "controversial" films on Christianity, it is about time these producers and authors plucked up a bit of guts and wrote something about Islam rather than taking the easy and boring way out and writing about Christianity.

This is not an issue of "free speech." Your "right," under the Constitution, is that the government can't dictate what you can or can not say. Yahoo is not the government. You want to play in their house, you have to play by their rules, no matter how ridiculous those rules may be or how uneven the enforcement.

liberal media bias...the election of nancy pelosi is a perfect example of how data can be misinterpreted with disastrous results through liberal spin. when you put liberals in charge of getting the message across as in this forum..lots of times it simply doesnt.

I think no matter what your religion is you have the right to say whatever you want because, that is what our forefathers died for, that is what they stood for and that is what this country has been built upon. And as far as Christmas goes, no matter what your religion, it doesn't matter, everyone agrees that December 25 is the day Jesus Christ was born, hence Christ-mas. So when people don't know whether to say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or Season's Greetings, I say Happy Birthday Jesus!
