I thought you said you didn't care.
Poetry is supposed to evoke feelings but what are you trying to accomplish by picking a topic that people are already raw about?
The gods want to try and keep this place a little calm that is all.
If you want to run a pout that is your choice. The Monks will still go on.
There is no censorship as it was not the gods who decided to reap your posts. Somebody offered them and people voted on them.
You should be happy you got the attention. Isn't that what Poets want?
Update
Oh come on now. Blanking out your post because you were getting downvoted......

I don't see why you erased your post, it was good, so I'll quote you now:
*sigh* That was not mixing up technical discussion with politics, Perl Poetry is not supposed to be a technically oriented arena. However my poem was political as you say. So let's say it right out, Perl Poetry is only for funny and silly Perl, not for poetry that touches on serious real-life issues. In any case, I fully admit, in retropsect, that I made a mistake. What angers me is that this qualifies as a mistake in the first place: it seems that people reaped nodes fearing provocation to come, rather than reaping nodes after provocation was observed, and this comes across as blatant censorship, which caused more provocation than the poem itself! So I regret that I posted, but I will not apologize because I don't believe the poem is disrespectful. Slamming someone else's political views is one thing, simply presenting your own is quite another. I'm done with PerlMonks, the "Gods" can reap my account.
Well said.
