Rejecting of comments
Telling someone that their comment was meanspirited, should have not resulted with a rejection to post. There are some insulting and demeaning comments that definitely should have been rejected, but weren't. But, Hey Yahoo, it's your platform! I'm out!

I think it's cool folks can say anything they want about Israel and Jewish people but that the word Nazi leads to a block. Fun!

I attempted to post the following comment to a story about the Congressional dress code: "A ****** dress code is a small thing compared to the Republicans' ****** moral code". To my astonishment, it triggered an approval requirement. Now I challenge you to identify anything in it that would not be appropriate for a "G"-rated movie. That is not the first such case in my experience, but I would call it the worst.

Why was this comment subject to moderation...what was objectionable: "Inflation at lowest level in years…most jobs created by any President within first 3 yrs of term…economy is humming along..passed an infrastructure bill that creates thousands of good paying jobs…has provided enough covid vaccine for anyone who wants it…has restored respect and confidence in America by our ally’s . I know this is all news to the MAGA world…but this record is the reason he beats the other guy again….sorry in this post. And please don't give me the robotic answer. I'd really like to know:"

Your stories contain language that is deemed offensive in the forum? Please tell me how that is possible?

I see that Yahoo supports pedophilia. This is evident because when I used the word in a post, it was rejected because it might offend some people. As I understand it, pedophilia is still a crime. So by extension, yahoo supports crime. Please take a look at who it is in your organization that supports crime and criminal acts. Thanks- a very concerned citizen.

Thank you for removing the "comments section".. Real news should be the main objective, not misinformation from the readers.

The word Ziotrash should not be allowed in comments about Israel. It certainly does not fit your guidelines. The poster "Santa" uses this label ALL the time. I suspect if I used the term Pali-trash, it would be spotted.
Your articles on Israel are a place where anti-Semites feel liberated to post their odious, hateful views. I would suggest you not facilitate this open expression of prejudice and hatred. -
