I've had an experience now with this site, and based on that I know it's unlikely this post will last.
I find it majorly ironic that a site with the purpose of blogging for progress has chosen to censor me by deleting a blog about injustice that I wrote yesterday.
There is a user of this site who has been posting hateful messages in both blogs and comments, and slinging insults at other users for disagreeing. She's said blatantly racist things against whites, blacks, and asians. This infuriated me, because I felt it was against the spirit of this site.
So I made a blog about it. I expressed my discontent, and used quotes from her, and suggested that others view her blogs in order to understand better what I had seen. Other than refering to her as a "racist" (more than justified based on her comments) I was respectful and did not stoop to the level of mud slinging.
I logged on tonight to find that my blog had been deleted. Not only that, but her hateful, racist blogs and comments were still up. That despite the fact that they violate the website's terms of use: " (2) is violent, hateful, or threatening to anyone or any group;"
So as I said, I know this will probably be deleted, because obviously this site is only about progress as they see it, but I I hope some of you can read it before my voice is silenced again.
