Free To Satire? Not in Yahoo!


In Yahoo critical speech is not allowed, but in America, satire is protected speech. Does it bother you that Yahoo (as in Red China) speech must never criticize the answers to a given question?

Here was the offensive answer (which got reported, and removed:)

"A poem well within a question and contextual to it within, is without guidelines of questions qua questions and / or answer qua answers, if either pertain to the question of the first part, as a question with a category pertained to poetry of the second part -- I'm getting a headache.

[I have disavowed any attempts to besmirch Scooter with this page as he/she was apparently unaware of the effect of their words and removed them when made aware.] 

Anyhow, the abuse goes merrily forward. Sanctioned by Red China -er I mean Yahoo!
