Why was my answer deleted?

This question

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20181...

True/flase: someone really ought to slap some sense into those poor folks who refuse to vote?

People died for that right.

My answer: "False Our votes mean nothing"

Is it because I spelled false correctly? Should I have written flase, as they did? Why was I the only one reported?

    Considering the fact that a few others provided true or false answers (essentially the same as yours) and were not reported, my only guess is that you were flagged because somebody does not like you.

    It would be akin to a police officer pulling over an automobile with four adults not wearing their seat belts and only issuing a citation to one of the occupants within the vehicle.

    Because someone "in good standing" (whatever that means) reported it. Meanwhile, Y!A does nothing when I report the porn avatars.

    I get the same happening to me. Some people report just if you have a different opinion.

    The only decent PMs we had in the UK were Sir Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. Churchill made the UK great, and Thatcher was a strong women with more balls than most men. was I don't think I'll bother voting in the next UK general election because none are worth voting for.

    Because some troll with credibility doesn't like you. Happens to me too.
