Censorship

We know this will come as a great disappointment to those of you who enjoy reading the same comments over and over and over again from the same people, but here's a policy straight from the Politburo:
The high and mighty editors have made the decision to begin moderating comments to the blog, which can delay the posting of comments from several minutes to several hours. We've always felt free to edit comments - I guess it just comes naturally to editors - but now we've gone too far. We will strike and boldface and emphasize and stuff. It will be terrible. The whole point of the blog will be lost, because as you'd imagine we'll only post comments by people who agree with us or pay us lots of money. It will be typical liberal claptrap from here on out so either accept our newspeak or get lost.

comments

Well, at least that's out of the way.

The BLOG should not be censored. It is a place that people can go and type what they really think about certain situations. People that visit the BLOG are not taking advice from this site, they are merely stating how they feel about certain things posted. It would be a real disgrace if this site is censored. I want to be able to read how other people REALLY feel about some things.
