So, Dear Moderator. Is it the policy of this newspaper to delete comments simply because of who makes the comment? Clearly, the answer is yes as you are now deleting comments by some writers while leaving virtually identical comments by others on the page.
Is it against the policy of this newspaper to accept criticism by bloggers? Only certain bloggers? LOL! It would be fun to see this paper apply the same "principles" it expects from government to itself.... The paper would be getting an F at this point... No communication of reasons for its actions.... Arbitrary and capricious decision-making.... No transparency.... Discrimination.... Monopolistic control over information with the best Orwellian spin you can come with.... Kind of reminds me of the parent who says do what I say, not what I do....

You are somehow under the impression that you have a right to be here and be heard. You don't. We are ALL guests here and our posts get posted at the discression of the management. My posts get pulled sometimes too. Big deal. Get over your entitlement issues.

It's not unreasonable to expect fairness, or at least some kind of consistent rationale for pulling posts. What's the policy? And is it consistently enforced? Those are questions that people who use this website have the right to ask.

LOL! Of course not... but the "freedom" of press people exercising censorship and controlling the "message" is pretty sad/funny/pathetic all at the same time.... Where you get the "entitlement" thing is pretty funny though... interesting interpretation.
Cronus , liberal redneck in Olympia since 1980.
My posts get pulled sometimes as well, don’t take it personally. Some go to the moderator and appear later, some never appear. Obviously, it isn’t a perfect system (I mean, they even mess with the great Cronus! Lol). Apparently the Olympian and Disqus each have their own separate protocol on banned words, for example. I found the best way to communicate an issue is not to post a comment and go off (which I’ve done before too), but to call Tammy McGee at the Olympian’s newsroom 360-754-5420 during business hours. Hope that helps ya, brother.

The irony is that T1958 applauded the "censorship" of certain Progressives.
