That's me finished with The Guardian
I was so pissed off today with the moderation "policy" at the gruaniad today that that's me finished with them!! I made a post in the comments section after an article about feminism... basically saying that in this day and age women now have equality, there are laws enshrining it etc and that it is OTT and unnecessary for them to push feminism so strongly as to even have an actual feminism category for articles and news etc. Although there is nothing in AUP about it, and although my post was polite etc, it was deleted by moderators! I couldn't believe it and my first thought was that it must have been deleted in error... So I posted a similar comment... also removed... followed by another pointing out that I had posted nothing more than a personal opinion, politely worded, which could surely not be in contravention of site rules... deleted. Several others then posted similar opinions.. all deleted.. followed by a long post from another person saying that my original post was fair, sensible and polite etc and it was a censoring of free speech to delete it... deleted! Unbelievable! You should see how strongly worded some posts on there are! I tried another one saying how successful lots of women I know have been in rising to the top of their field etc and that clearly women have plenty of opportunities these days etc... not only deleted but I'm put on the naughty boys pre moderation list! Worst case of "PC gone mad" I've personally experienced!
