From another blog...
Someone commented on the Editors' Blog Stop the blocking now, re the Iranian government blocking of the courageous and impartial BBC.
Now have a look at the comments to this blog entry, most of which say: 'This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the House Rules'
Absolutely most of them.
I don't think the Beeb grasps the irony of it.
Ah, but one is state-controlled suppression of free speech, and the other is, er, different. Or should I say, 'unique'.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
