 Nonsensical Deletings 

I just received the following message from you:

""Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Wikipedia is not a place to socialize or do things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia, as you did at Talk:Barack Obama. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. This message is not meant to discourage you from editing Wikipedia but rather to remind you that the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you. Tabloids cant be used as a source. HereFord ""

(1) Could you please explain to me how my suggestion for a discussion of Obama's link to the subprime crisis in his article constitutes ""socializ[ing] or do[ing] things that are not direclty related to improving the encyclopedia? (2) Did you not read my statement in my post that the Post article I included was not meant to be a source? It was intended to provide other editors with useful background information on the issue (the facts in the article all being easily verifiable). I specifically stated this in my post. Just to be clear one more time: I DID NOT INCLUDE THE POST ARTICLE AS A SOURCE. Please respond ASAP as I would like a full explanation of why you deleted my post in light of the two responses above. Failure to respond will result in me reporting you.
