Remeber the Jane Fonda poll on the Yahoo site a couple of weeks ago? I contributed to the answers, and here's what I got back from Yahoo, which removed my response.

Here's a link to the guidelines, but I can't figure out which one I violated: http://answers.yahoo.com/info/community_guidelines.php
It’s a crock, but I’m not surprised. Great answer by the way.
Interesting. And have you replied?
Your problem was that you responded rightfully to a radical anti-American, anti-military socialist leftist. Yahoo is a bit to the left, you know :-)
I contested the removal and asked them to point out to me which of the guidelines I violated. They haven’t gotten back to me because I didn’t violate any of them. They removed my comment because they disagreed with it.

Yahoo thinks that American Air Force refers to a terrorist organization.
I would send them an e-mail and threaten them with a lawsuit as they have violated your 1st amendment rights and they have violated the 14th as well. Claim censorship and that they violated their own rules as well. That might get a reaction from them anyway.
My response was somewhat more caustic ... I didn’t receive any notice like you did. I wonder if my response was deleted ...
If I am alive when Fonda dies,there will be a party at my house,w/champagne.
If any person near where she is buried wants to make a dollar they can receive specimen bottles and charge $25 to pour them over the grave. They will get rich.
Except Yahoo isn’t the government. The 1st Amendment prohibits the government from limiting free speech, not private enterprises such as Yahoo. Of course they violated their own rules. The are liberal hypocrites. I look forward to continued dialog with the 14-year-olds loser-nerds that run it.
You must be a leftist in disguise.
Go look at your Yahoo mail inbox.
I did ... nothing there ...
I responded ... This Vietnam combat vets parents taught him to love his country and not be a stinking traitor. Something your parents obviously did not teach you
If I am alive when Fonda dies,there will be a party at my house,w/champagne.
Apparently we can’t. Now because of the lefties having orgasms over Jerry Falwell, we have to behave so we are not hypocrites. They suck all the fun out of life...
You should have left out the “I was taught.” They were looking for incomplete sentences.
You violated the guideline about “safe and useful”, because you mentioned “weapons”, which puts liberals out of continence.
You didn’t break any rules that I can see.
