Censoring on Huff

[kwombles]

Kruddler had a good post countering PlaceboStudman and poof it was gone. What the hell?

[kwombles]

oops. back again. Maybe the site is just wonky. Twice today.


Although there was a testy exchange between me and Rileysmom that went bye-bye.

Several of my posts never even made it on. Very frustrating.

All my posts citing specific examples of crazy from whale.to have been deleted, whether they used quotes or not. Dugmaze has long paragraphs cut and paste, so I'm not sure why either quotes or links to specific articles would be off limits. Chalk it up to arbitrary moderation. Wee!

[kwombles]

And Dug's going off the deep end. But getting posted.

I have been getting a 100% post rate on the Sarah Lovinger blog on Huff.

[kwombles]

Mine's about 990%, but there's nothing wrong with the ones not getting on; they're no different from the rest.

Same here.

[kwombles]

90% hah 990%. :-)

Hey, Dug's post taking Nostrum out of context went bye-bye.

Currently on: "it bears saying here in this thread what this is about for some of us on the science-shows-no-link side: those focused on finding vaccines to blame miss out on something. When we say accept your child as he/she is, we don't mean not to intervene, not to work to help the child be the best he/she can be, though you twist it to mean that. It means that as long as you view your child as vaccine-damaged and taken away from you, you miss this:

I have beautiful children who have extra challenges but extra blessings. Smiles that break your heart with the joy and beauty contained within. And when eye contact occurs, really happens, and they are focused and truly looking at you, not blankly through you, you feel as if you see into their soul and are overwhelmed by the sweetness and goodness contained there. Such joy contained with the bittersweet realizations that the world is a hard place for them to be that your heart overflows.

Parents who have not come into this place of acceptance cannot experience this joy; they are focused in victimhood, in why me-ness? I counter the woo-spinners because they perpetuate this victimhood, this one-sided, unnecessarily cruel view of their children. Chew on that, Mags, if you read this."


Damn. They let it on.
I thought for sure they woudn't.

It appears that any honest comment is getting posted to the Lovinger article.

Not quite. I've had a number of comments removed today. Nothing nasty, nothing against their policies. I am feeling really ticked off.

It appears that the situation changed last night when a certain vaccine critic went on a rampage (I criticized one of their posts and they went off the deep end). Most of the attacks they made were allowed to stay up. However, I had a couple of much more sensible replies blocked last night. Kwombles had a very pleasant post removed (because the rampaging poster took offense to Kwombles' friendly post).

[kwombles]

thanks, PD. Tonight saw a bunch of posts removed, as well. Huh. Dug's one starting it out is over at Detritus, kwombles.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-knickers-in-knot-bound-to-happen-at.html; this post, my response, and many of yours are gone now. I don't think they like it when we win the round conclusively.
