I was very confused, as I never call names or use bad language. I did try to post some of the same info in answer to multiple user questions, and those were not published. One post made it through the sensors with multiple F&F's but they deleted it for reasons unknown except that contained 6 examples to disprove the article. Today, the post is back up, but I am still banned from commenting. I can still log in and see my history, so I don't know if this is temporary or what? All I got was a form e-mail that said I "crossed a line". I sent a request through their "contact us" to ask what was happening.

Also, why is it run by a corporation?"<br /><br />I don't really agree with that. I agree corporations are often evil but to just say liberals have to be completely against them doesn't make sense to me. I've made a lot of money working for various big corporations as a consultant. Liberals can be capitalists too, in fact socialists (if I had to categorize what I am) can also be capitalists. <br /><br />But while I don't see anything evil in Huffpo being a corporation per se, I do think that their recent behavior shows they are more interested in making money and dominating their market rather than anything else. I don't consider them a liberal site the way I think of Crooks And Liars or Daily KOS for example.Red Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956109718411759084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094254539126821367.post-18019624130401929252011-05-11T12:48:22.601-07:002011-05-11T12:48:22.601-07:00In response to Bria: You seem to say that once I a...In response to Bria: You seem to say that once I agree that a site has the right to moderate comments then I must give up any right to criticize the WAY they moderate comments. I don't see the logic in that. What I'm objecting to is that Huffpo regularly censors comments that any rational person could see clearly fall within the limits of their published standards.

Also, why is it run by a corporation?

I often see spam, racist comments, homophobic comments, anti-semitic comments and countless comments that are off topic or simply pointless. I would be happy if more of those comments were moderated out. What makes this something I think worthy of concern is that the censorship has gone from being mildly annoying to a serious suppression of free speech on the site.<br /><br />The problem is, you cant have it both ways. either those types of people are allowed to comment, or they are not. Either way, you;re bound to offend someone especially when the site is moderated. Which means they are free to delete whatever they want, even if it pisses you off. <br /><br />"too many rules, and the people become unruly"Brianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094254539126821367.post-91383153443725002032011-04-20T19:14:23.930-07:002011-04-20T19:14:23.930-07:00I also was banned from commenting on Huff Post.

Not only do rogue moderators delete what they do not like or agree with, but also they get so far behind that it can take up to a couple of hours for comments to post. This was especially true this weekend as we were trying to share thoughts on the Tucson massacre. Many many protests about the moderators. The only reason I have not left is because many bright and talented writers post on the threads; I enjoy and learn from them.

The chief purifier, the founder of the HP religion section, is a reverend, an ordained American Baptist minister. <br /><br />This principal expurgator is overseeing public morals, and controlling aspects of free speech, taming, emasculating and undermining the HP exchange according to his own “ethos”, the fundamental and distinctive character of his Baptist organization and based on his own attitudes, habits, and beliefs. <br /><br />In the following video, (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/24/live-stream-krista-tippet_n_738396.html) the religion editor of the Huffington Post is talking with Krista Tippett about how he contacted Ariana Huffington and how he suggested to her starting a “religion section” at HP.<br /><br />He also describes his “censorship” philosophy: (you can jump to their following exchange around 20:35 on the video)<br /><br /><br />LIVE Stream: Krista Tippett Talks 'Being' With HuffPost Religion Editor Paul Raushenbush (VIDEO)<br /><br />“It’s something we’re really working at with huff post religion…our users have not learned that lesson about the ethos. And it’s something that is a real trick and it’s something we’re trying to embody with the kind of contributors that we’re convening and putting together and the quality of our contributors and pieces.<br /><br />But a lot of times people come to fight. And it’s really hard to get out of that mindset especially in a site that was founded in a political angry time which we are still in. And so what I think is so important about what you are trying to do and what also happens on your website because people are going there specifically for that kind of conversation…<br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/24/live-stream-krista-tippet_n_738396.html<br /><br /><br />Rev.

However, UBUNTU lets you change your MAC address (called spoofing) and once you do that you get a NEW IP and New MAC ADDRESS and you can register a new account. <br /><br />It's important that 'we the (sane) peopole' not back down and post sensible, and provable facts on that rag (that conform to their idiotic censorship rules) to show that we will no longer tolerate the propaganda spewed by that site 24/7.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094254539126821367.post-28665093597250886562010-10-28T06:34:18.854-07:002010-10-28T06:34:18.854-07:00Here is my experience with HuffPo censorship http:...Here is my experience with HuffPo censorship http://www.huffingtontoast.comuglygnomehttp://www.huffingtontoast.comnoreply@blogger.com
