I have been Banned from Yahoo Answers!

Apparently something I wrote in response to a question on Yahoo answers was unacceptable. So unacceptable, in fact, that my account was canceled and I was banned. (When I questioned about it, I get a BS response basically that they think my banishment was valid, and apparently can't tell me what I did wrong.)

But they did invite me to create a new ID and start over. Oh great.

What bothered me most was that whenever I tried to find out what I did wrong, it kept telling me the pages where the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines were are unavailable.

I still don't understand what I did wrong, as far as I can tell, I don't think I've said anything in my responses that wasn't acceptable to be read by anyone who was of age 13 or older. But apparently something I said was. Even though it's been deleted, once one's account is canceled they can't bring it back.

But they still can't seem to inform me as to exactly why whatever I said was so bad it deserves banishment. I do not know.

Welcome to My blog! This is where I store my thoughts so that I can come back to them at some point in the future. This allows me a place like a journal to keep what I'm thinking about. But anyone else is welcome to visit; I make this place public so that other people can hear what I'm thinking.

This is where I make comments on any subject I find of interest. My political comments are in the Politics section, and technical items are in the Computers section. Note, if you want to make a comment, e-mail it to me at paul@paul-robinson.us. I am sorry that I had to disable comments, but after I had deleted the 300th worthless piece of spam comment on this blog and receiving exactly zero valid comments, I decided to stop allowing spammers to excrement all over me and my blog. If you have *anything* at all to say, send it to me in e-mail; if it is even the slightest bit relevant - even if I don't agree with it, I will post it. (As soon as I find a way to stop spammers from posting junk I'll allow direct comments.) Note that if you are a visitor and post a comment, it defaults to "draft" meaning I have to approve it before it is visible, so if you're posting spam, don't bother, nobody will see it.
