This is awesome.\u00a0 I wrote the following comment to the forum “moderators” at WRAL and look at what they sent me back…\u00a0 apparently I was “inconsiderate or abusive” towards the draconian comment police.<\/p>\n
“Stop moderating by opinion instead of guidelines.\u00a0 It’s way too obvious.\u00a0 In fact, you should stop moderating through the use of humans.\u00a0 That equates to the suppression of speech and smells of agenda.\u00a0 Millions of unmoderated forums on the internet without lawsuit and WRAL feels the need why?\u00a0 You don’t want anyone offended?\u00a0 Yet you post comments offensive to entire demographics but nothing offensive to individual, anonymous posters.\u00a0 Double standards… nice.\u00a0 How does “internet moderator” come across on a resume anyway?\u00a0 Pretty good if the next job you apply for is Draconian Propaganda Filter Specialist.\u00a0 Be proud.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
