My trivia contribution declined

Ok...what's going on around here?! This is just some kind of vendetta. How could they decline something like this? It's a straightforward interpretation of what was said from French into English and it doesn't mean your guidelines?!

There are countless contributions, including many I have made over the years, interpreting one language into English that have been approved. So what's up with this one all of a sudden?Pull the other one! 

Please have somebody responsible have a look and reevaluate this and tell me exactly why this was declined?

TRIVIA ADDITION

When the French soldier is standing next to the German prisoner and asks him in French if he speaks French. The German says nothing. Then the French soldier contemptuously says, under his breath, "Tu es un salop" which means "You are a bastard".

Maya, I have to ask and I'm sure you can't be candid with me on this public platform, and I know that there are many many people on IMDb that approve or decline contributions but I can't help to feel that because I stand and fight and argue in a colorful way when some of my trivia that I want to contribute are declined that there are some of the gatekeepers on IMDb that simply decline my contributions out of spite because I dare to argue the points. I can't help with I feel that this is what's going on. Your thoughts?
