Censorship, Redux

Today, there are some posts complaining about more censorship. Who actually controls what is censored? I thought we were making headway - but are we? Is it some sick game by our Milton?

Here's a sample:


852. Why are my posts being deleted? by jerseymikepa, 8/12/06 18:08 ET
Who's got an axe to grind?

852.1.2. Topic 848 Deleted by Swampfox22, 8/12/06 20:22 ET Re: Why are my posts being deleted? by jerseymikepa, 8/12/06
The series of posts under topic 848 have been deleted. Are there some caveats, restrictions or undesired topics that we need to know about? Are discussions about terrorists forbidden on these forums?

If anyone complains about somethign it is removed.


852.1.2.1.1. Arbitrary Standards by Swampfox22, 8/12/06 21:19 ET Re: Why are my posts being deleted? by jerseymikepa, 8/12/06
How can that be true when there are a number of complaints about taxes, crime, politicos, smoking ban, etc, etc,etc. Seems that there may be some arbitrary censorship being imposed. It's funny that the newspaper web-site would censor when they find it convenient to talk about freedom of the press when they want to beat a particular drum but look at it differently when "John Q. Public" wants to evpand the envelope of discussion. Is this site under the paper or is it an independent site subject to the whims of whoever is "big daddy"?
